===BPCP===

**bpcp** is the best utility for copying files effeciently across the cluster. It is the bproc replacement for rcp and scp. It's syntax is compatable with rcp.

==Syntax==

**bpcp** //<source> <destination>//

Both source and destination are specified in the form [<node>:][<path>/]<filename>


Any optional portion that is not specified will take on a reasonable default value as follows:

    * <node> will default to the master (-1:)
    * <path> will default to the CWD or on a slave node, / if CWD doesn't exist
    * <filename> will default to the filename spoecified in the source argument 

As might be expected, '.' specifies the CWD.

For compatability with older cluster software, **bpcp** is syntax compatable with **rcp**. Thus, in source code, one may safely s/rcp/bpcp/g and re-compile.

==Examples==

<code bash>

bpcp /etc/sensors 1:/etc

cd /etc ; bpcp sensors 1:

bpcp 2:/etc/sensors 1:/etc
