10 Arguments:
11 
12 remote_source_path
13    is the pathname of the file to be sent by the remote system.  Its
14    syntax must be acceptable to the remote system.  The star convention
15    is allowed, but its meaning is dependent on the remote system.
16 
17 local_destination_path
18    is the pathname under which the incoming file will be stored on
19    the local system.  If local_destination_path is specified when
20    receiving a file group from the remote system, the first file
21    received will be stored under the given path, and the remainder
22    will be stored under their own names.

25 Notes:
26    The get request requires that the remote server be operating.  If
27 the named file(s) cannot be sent, the remote system will inform the
28 local system and give a reason.
