Bug#573177: pssh: can not copy multiple files with p-scp or p-rsync

[Thomas Koch]

Package: pssh
Version: 2.1.1-1
Severity: normal

I'm trying to copy all *.deb files from a directory:

parallel-scp -v -h slavehosts *.deb /root/repo

which gives:
parallel-scp: error: Extra arguments given after the remote path.

Ok. next try:
parallel-scp -v -e error -h slavehosts "*.deb" /root/repo

gives:
[FAILURE] xxxMYHOSTxxx Exited with error code 1

and in the errorfile:
*.deb: No such file or directory

Equivalent behaviour with parallel-rsync.
I'm pretty sure, that I could copy multiple files at once this way
before the last upgrade of pssh.

Thanks for packaging pssh!

Looking back at old versions of the code, I'm pretty sure that the old
versions would have given an error, too. However, I agree that pscp
should be able to transfer multiple files, so this sounds like a great
feature request. Would you please open up a new feature request for
this? The issue tracker is at:

Thanks.
