#!/bin/sh

# Run the following commands to add to your terminal
# sudo cp copy_remote_script.sh /usr/local/bin
# cd /usr/local/bin
# chmod +x copy_remote_script.sh
# now from your remote script directory you can run 'sh copy_remote_script.sh . <SCRIPTNAME>' And it will do everything for you.
# If you want to shorten it you can add an alias
# cd ~/.
# vim .zshrc
# alias cprs="sh copy_remote_script.sh"
# Now you can do cprs . <SCRIPTNAME>
