The Reprint Server plugin runs on the source site. The client runs on the computer
receiving the copy. For your own site, an administrator authorizes the client before
copying.

The plugin from WordPress.org serves downloads. Push, which sends local changes 
back to a site, needs a server build configured by the site’s host. [What Reprint does not do](https://developer.wordpress.org/reprint/understand-reprint/limitations/)
lists this and the other limits.
