dscp

dscp is a tool for copying a file from one system to many systems simultaneously. It essentially performs a

for a in $(seq 1 10); do scp file $a:destination; done

in bourne shell.

The tool assumes that dsh groups are setup either in /etc/dsh/group or $HOME/.dsh/group and that the scp command is available. All options are made to closely match those of dsh(1) and scp(1) as much as possible.

Build

$ cd dscp
$ python setup.py sdist

Install

Using setuptools:

$ pip install http://github.com/khosrow/dscp/tarball/master
