In order to do this some ssh authentication agent and keychain or
similar tool will need to be configured. Once that is done the
placement on a remote host can be done seamlessly with the -r (for scp)
or -R (for rsync) flag, which may be used in conjunction with other
processing flags, e.g.

<b>-R [filename/wildcard] </b><br /> copies sisu output files to remote
host using rsync. This requires that sisurc.yml has been provided with
information on hostname and username, and that you have your "keys" and
ssh agent in place. Note the behavior of rsync different if -R is used
with other flags from if used alone. Alone the rsync --delete parameter
is sent, useful for cleaning the remote directory (when -R is used
together with other flags, it is not). Also see -r

<text class="norm">
As <b>SiSU</b> is generally operated using the command line, and works
within a Unix type environment, <b>SiSU</b> the program and all
documents can just as easily be on a remote server, to which you are
logged on using a terminal, and commands and operations would be pretty
much the same as they would be on your local machine.
