<h1>20. Remote exec and copy commands<a class="headerlink" href="#remote-exec-and-copy-commands" title="Permalink to this headline">ΒΆ</a></h1>
<p>Cdist interacts with the target host in two ways:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>it executes code (__remote_exec)</li>
<li>and it copies files (__remote_copy)</li>
</ul>
<p>By default this is accomplished with ssh and scp respectively.
The default implementations used by cdist are:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">__remote_exec</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">ssh</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">o</span> <span class="n">User</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">root</span>
<span class="n">__remote_copy</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">scp</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">o</span> <span class="n">User</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">root</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The user can override these defaults by providing custom implementations and
passing them to cdist with the --remote-exec and/or --remote-copy arguments.</p>
<p>For __remote_exec, the custom implementation must behave as if it where ssh.
For __remote_copy, it must behave like scp.
Please notice, custom implementations should work like ssh/scp so __remote_copy
must support IPv6 addresses enclosed in square brackets. For __remote_exec you
must take into account that for some options (like -L) IPv6 addresses can be
specified by enclosed in square brackets (see <strong>ssh</strong>(1) and
<strong>scp</strong>(1)).</p>
<p>With this simple interface the user can take total control of how cdist
interacts with the target when required, while the default implementation
remains as simple as possible.</p>
