The command you provided is used to mirror the contents of a local directory to a remote directory.
Here is a breakdown of the command and its components:
mirror: This is the command being executed. It is typically used in file transfer protocols or tools like FTP or SCP to sync or mirror directories/files between a local machine and a remote server.-R: This is an option or flag provided to themirrorcommand. It stands for "recursive", which means that the command will copy not only the files in the specified directory but also any subdirectories within it, preserving the directory structure.${path-to-local_dir}: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the local directory you want to mirror. You need to replace it with the path to your desired local directory.${path-to-remote_output_dir}: This is another placeholder for the actual path to the remote directory where you want to mirror the files. You need to replace it with the path to your desired remote directory.
By running this command, the contents of the local directory specified will be replicated in the remote directory, including any subdirectories and files.
