sftp: Transfer remote file to the local system.
$ get ${-path-remote_file}
try on your machine

The command "get ${-path-remote_file}" is likely used in a scripting or programming context. Here's an explanation of each component:

  • "get" is the name of the command or function being invoked. It indicates that the intention is to retrieve or obtain something.
  • "${-path-remote_file}" is called a command-line argument or parameter. This particular argument is enclosed in braces "${...}" and consists of three parts: "-path-", followed by the actual path or location of a remote file to be fetched, and then "-remote_file", which is used to indicate that the specified path refers to a remote file rather than a local one.

Essentially, this command is requesting the retrieval or download of a file located at a remote location specified by the "-path-remote_file" argument.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
