A persistent file can be retrieved from a specific host. This can be done using the function

get_file(int host_id, const char* file_name)

or the command line program

get_file -host_id X -file_name Y

This program must be run in the project's root directory.

get_file() creates a result with a name of the form:

get_FILENAME_HOSTID_TIME

Example: get_test.mpg_34_123456789 is a result representing the upload of test.mpg from host number 34 at time 1234567891.

An upload message is created for the specific host and added to the msg_to_host table in the database. This message instructs the client to upload the file and acknowledge a successful upload. The upload message included in the next RPC reply to the host. The message has the form: ", html_text(" FILE_MOVER FILE_MOVER BOINC_MAJOR_VERSION file_name upload_dir 1e10 RESULT_XML result.name FILE_MOVER ")," Include ", html_text(""), " in config.xml. Currently ", html_text(""), " needs to be included as there is no way to send upload certificates with these files. "; page_tail(); ?>
