sftp: Transfer remote directory to the local system recursively (works with `put` too).

$ get -R ${-path-remote_directory}

try on your machine

The command "get -R ${-path-remote_directory}" is likely used in a Unix-like operating system's command line or shell to retrieve a directory and its contents from a remote location.

Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:

"get" is a command or program used to transfer files between systems. It is commonly used in file transfer protocols like FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol).
"-R" is an option or flag that specifies that the transfer should be recursive, meaning it will copy the specified directory and all of its subdirectories and files.
"${-path-remote_directory}" represents a placeholder for the actual path and directory name. It is enclosed in curly braces and preceded by a dollar sign to indicate a variable or parameter substitution. The specific value for "-path-remote_directory" should be provided when using the command.

In summary, when the command is executed, it will attempt to retrieve the directory and its contents found at the specified remote location, assuming the proper connectivity and authentication is in place.
