Yes, that is correct, assuming also that key authentification is set up.
One should of course convert it into a shell script.
That would be pretty amazing and if in OSX, I set up an automator
action to watch a particular folder and print new things... it would
totally work!
How would I make it a shell script? And how would you do it from
something like Opera for example? There is no file to move around...
