Description
dcp/dysnc only works when clients mount both filesystem (src/dst), if people want dcp/dsync over the network, but no mount points. So we might need to have something like "dcp -e ssh user@ip:/src /dest" that rsync is doing, means we need add support to ssh stream into libmfu (MPI aware ssh I/O?).
With a pre-investigation, seems it's not easy to do so. And @adammoody @dinatale2 , can you give some advices here? thanks

Research direction
Start by reviewing dcp/dsync and the libmfu interfaces involved in filesystem access, then investigate how an SSH stream could support remote sources and destinations without mounted filesystems. The issue's target is an rsync-like command such as dcp -e ssh user@ip:/src /dest, with MPI-aware SSH I/O, but it notes that this needs pre-investigation.
