The best way to explain how to create a configuration file for distributed PPSS is to provide an example. In this example, a script is used to encode WAV files to MP3. This script is called 'encode.sh' and takes a filename as an argument.
`./ppss config -C config.cfg -c 'encode.sh ' -d /source/dir -m 192.168.1.100 -u ppss -k ppss-key.key -S ./encode.sh -n nodes.txt -o /some/output/dir --upload --download`
`./ppss config -C config.cfg -c 'encode.sh ' -d /source/dir -m 192.168.1.100 -u ppss -k ppss.key -S ./encode.sh -n nodes.txt -o /some/output/dir --upload --download`
It is quite a long command line, however, it is executed only once. Afther that, the config file config.cfg can be used for all further commands.

The -m option specifies the SSH server that acts as both fileserver and SSH server for communication between nodes. The SSH server is mainly used for file-locking: nodes know that locked files are already processed or being processed, so another unlocked file must be selected.
If the server acts both as a file server and SSH server, it is not recommended to use it also as a node, in this case for encoding. Filetransers using SSH can take quite some processing power. Using different hosts as a file server (through SCP) and master is currently not possible (yet).

If files are distributed over NFS or SMB, the files seem to be present on the local system, because it is just a mount point and thus just a part of the local file system. In this case, the --download option can be omitted.
