[Fab-user] recursive get stops at first root read-only file as unprivileged user

[cruxpot]

Is there a way to make fabric not quit at the first read-only file it
cannot read? It throws an exception for example on /etc when I do a get
against an entire /etc directory structure. settings env.warn_only to True
does not stop the fact that it quits downloading. I can create an issue for
this but want to confirm this is by design or there's a switch I can use.
Thanks.

Hi,

I can not see a feature such as the one you want/need in the code-path for `get` at the moment. 

I’d say this is a usability improvement and you can safely make an issue.
