[GRASS-user] Copying map host-to-host

GRASS GRASS user

   I want to copy a vector map from one host on the LAN to another host.
Using rsync (external to grass) no maps transferred, only non-GRASS files.

   What is the protocol for copying GRASS maps (or whole mapsets) from host
to host?

   It helps to be in the location directory, not the non-GRASS project
directory.

Mea culpa,

Otherwise, for individual vector maps, v.pack/v.unpack will nicely do the job.

Moritz,

   I'll read the man page. I thought I'd have to export it as a .tif file
with v.out.gdal, transfer the .tif, then import it on the other system.

Thanks,

Rich

The *.pack/.unpack modules relieve you of the exporting/importing.

.tif is raster, so if you are speaking about raster maps, you can use r.pack/r.unpack.
