Get

Definition
get(remote_path, path, options={}, &block)
Module
Capistrano::Configuration::Actions::FileTransfer
File
capistrano/configuration/actions/file_transfer.rb

The get action is used to transfer files (or even an entire directory tree) from a single remote host to the local host. It is identical the download helper, invoked with the :once option:

 get "/etc/hosts", "downloads/hosts"
 download "/etc/hosts", "downloads/hosts", :once => true

Rather than repeat myself again and again repeatedly, over and over, redundantly, I'll just refer you to Action:download for the full scoop of what's possible.
