Dear Maojun Wang,

The LDM system can be used to transmit files from one computer to another. The 
LDM on the upstream computer can run a script via an EXEC entry in the LDM 
configuration-file. This script can monitor one or more directories for new 
files. When it sees a file, the script can use the pqinsert(1) utility to 
convert the file into an LDM data-product and insert that data-product into the 
LDM product-queue on the upstream computer. The LDM on the downstream computer 
can subscribe to such data-products via a REQUEST entry is the LDM 
configuration-file on the downstream computer.

The situation I've described is used in many locations to transmit files.
