Usage Guidelines

If you have specified the remote-filename and the remote file does not exist, a new remote file is created with the same name as that of the local-filename. The local file data is appended in the newly created file. If you have not specified the remote-filename, the local-filename is used as remote-filename and stored the file in the remote computer.
