NAME
yafc - Yet another FTP client
SYNOPSIS
yafc [options] [proto://][user[:password]@]hostname[:port][/directory]
DESCRIPTION
This manual documents Yafc. Yafc is quite a powerful ftp client. It is a console interface to the ftp protocol. If you’re looking for a nice GUI client, Yafc is not for you. If you, however, use ftp often and want a fast, powerful, friendly client Yafc is here for you...
Some of the features are recursive get/put/ls/rm, nohup transfers, colored ls, cached directory listings, autologin and bookmarks, powerful aliases and extensive tab completion.
OPTIONS
| -a, --anon | |
| Try an anonymous login, ie login as "anonymous" with your email address as password. Your email address is first looked for in the config file ("anon_password"), then in the $EMAIL environment variable. If it’s not found, a guess is made from your user- and hostname. | |
| -d, --debug | |
| Print all messages sent to/from server. | |
| -D, --dump-rc | |
| Prints the default configuration file to standard output. | |
| -m MECH, --mechanism=MECH | |
| Try security mechanism MECH when logging in to the host specified on the command line. This will override any ’mech’ options in yafcrc or bookmarks. MECH is a colon-separated string, supported values are "krb4", "krb5" and "none". The mechanisms are tried in the order specified. | |
| -n, --norc | |
| Do not read the users configuration file. This will cause yafc to use its default settings. | |
| -p, --noproxy | |
| Do not connect via the proxy. This should be used if connection to a host on the local network. | |
| -q, --quiet | |
| Do not print the welcome message with copyright information when starting Yafc. | |
| -r FILE, --rcfile=FILE | |
| Read another configuration file. | |
| -t FILE, --trace[=FILE] | |
| Enable creation of trace file. Trace files are mainly for debugging and includes every response and command Yafc receives/sends. If FILE is specified, use that file instead of the default trace file (~/.yafc/trace/trace.pid, where pid is the process id number of Yafc.) Trace files can grow quite large and can safely be deleted. | |
| -u, --noauto | |
| Do not login automagically to the host specified on the command line. You can still use bookmark aliases, though. | |
| -U, --noalias | |
| As ---noauto, but bookmark aliases is disabled (for host on command line). | |
| -v, --verbose | |
| Print all responses received (without response code.) | |
| -w, --wait=TIME | |
| Use a different time to wait between connection attempts, in seconds. This overrides the value set by "connect_wait_time" in the configuration file. | |
| -W, --workdir=DIR | |
| Use a different working directory for configuration files and temporary files. Default is ~/.yafc. | |
| -V, --version | |
| Print version information on stdout and exit successfully. | |
| -h, --help | |
| Print a short help description on stdout and exit successfully. | |
