the destination machine as an additional directory to compare destination
files against when doing transfers. This is useful for doing transfers to
a new destination while leaving existing files intact, and then doing a
files against when doing transfers if the files are missing in the
destination directory. This is useful for doing transfers to a new
destination while leaving existing files intact, and then doing a
flash-cutover when all files have been successfully transferred (for

temporary destination until they have a chance to be completed. If DIR is
