Quickly copy a file between computers

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick project I built a bit ago and finally cleaned up enough to post.

I created it as a nice way of not having to worry about ssh or anything else really. In fact, it is so simple, I use it on my local machine a lot when hopping around between terminals instead of remembering paths. I have tested it on OSX and Linux. Suggestions and comments welcomed.

If you are familiar with "robocopy /mir" - same idea, but on steroids. Lots of them. It can be used for both mirroring and archiving backups, among other things. It is light, very small and it is really quite fast. Half of the…
