/path

localfile

Specify the path and name for the local copy of the file. Enter a period (.) to use the current directory and the same file name as on the remote host. Enter a hyphen (-) to copy the file to "standard output".

    ncget -s library -u tanya -P -v public:subdir/pure.doc impure.doc
ncget -s library -u tanya -P -v public:/subdir/pure.doc impure.doc
