  • Copies the files of the key that are in the server location into the local folder.
  • If the '-d'/'-delta' option is specified, only copies those files that are different between the two locations.
  • The '-excl <filelist>' option specifies the files or filename patterns that not to be copied. All other files within the range of effect of the key will be copied.
  • The '-only <filelist>' option specifies that only the files in the list of filenames or filename patterns are to be copied from the server.
  • The '-file-list <filename>' option specifies that only the files in the list of filename stored in the given file are to be copied. This is basically the same as the '-only' option, except that the file names are stored separately in a file, instead of being specified in-line.
  • The '-restore' option specifies that the local copy is to be restored to match the server copy, including deleting local files that are not on the server.
  • If the '-ver' option is specified, reconstructs the directory of the specified version for the date and version number, then uses that directory as the server version that will be copied from. When used in conjunction with the '-restore' option, restores the local copy to match what the files were for the given date and version. (See the section on the 'Restore Command'for a more detailed description.)
  • If the '-nw' option is specified, does not open a window for the local folder after the copy is completed. The default is to open a window.
