fetch

This module works like 'copy', but in reverse. It is used for fetching files
from remote machines and storing them locally in a file tree, organized by hostname.
*src*:
* The file on the remote system to fetch. This needs to be a file, not a directory. Recursive fetching may be supported later.
*dest*:
* A directory to save the file into. For example, if the 'dest' directory is '/foo', a src file named '/tmp/bar' on host 'host.example.com', would be saved into '/foo/host.example.com/bar'.
The fetch module is a useful way to gather log files from remote systems. If you require
fetching multiple files from remote systems, you may wish to execute a tar command and
then fetch the tarball.
