get(remote_path, path, options={}, &block)
Module
Capistrano::Configuration::Actions::FileTransfer
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
Refer to download() for the full scoop of what's possible.
