pulling data from the server

[David Bigagli -Bokis-]

Thank you. I have read that, but how to use it the first time is not
obvious at all.

I am pretty sure that you experienced the frustration of using new
software and you cannot find the example that you really need in the man
page. Or you want to make me believe that the first time you read the man
page of tar or dump, you got it right away? :-)

 Cheers,
        David
