TEST NAME 

      scp - copy files from one machine to another 

SYNOPSIS 

      sh scp.sh REMOTE-MACHINE

DESCRIPTION 

      These tests use the 'scp' command to copy files from one machine to another. The
      tests terminate if any file becomes corrupted. 

OPERANDS 

      REMOTE-MACHINE   Either the host name or IP address of the machine to
                       which files and directories are copied. If the host name
                       is specified, it must appear in /etc/hosts along with the
                       remote machine's IP address. 

USAGE VARIABLES 

      RUNTIME   This environment variable specifies, in seconds, the duration of
                the test. 

SETUP 

      You need two machines connected by a network, either back-to-back, or
      through a hub or switch. 

      Ensure that sufficient disk space is available on the remote machine for
      copying.

OUTPUT 

      At the start of each iteration, the current time is output. 

DURATION 

      24 hours 

POSSIBLE CONCURRENT TESTS 

      You can run this test concurrently with lsalr, mpflip, cl3se3, ftpstress, and spray. 

NOTES 

      * The scp test copies /kernel/unix on the local machine to /tmp on the
        remote machine.
