This file should be saved as app/commands/DistributeCommand.php.
The DistributeCommand class accepts a host (remote server name) argument and a –target option.
Like the copy and clean commands; the –target option will override the default ../distribute folder
with one of your choosing.
The host argument needs to match a key in your app/config/host.php configuration file. It carefully
constructs and escapes a shell command instruction rsync to synchronise files from the distribution
folder to a path on the remote server.
Once the files have been synchronised, it will inspect the messy output of the rsync command and
return number number of bytes and files transferred.

You can watch the progress of an upload (to the remote server) by connecting via SSH, navigating
to the folder and running the command: du -hs
