SENDFILED

NAME

sendfiled - Simple Asynchronous File Transfer server

SYNOPSIS

sendfiled [ −4 | −6 ] [ −d ] [ −f ] [ −q ] [ −Q ] [ −c configfile ]

DESCRIPTION

sendfiled is a server process (daemon) for the Simple Asynchrnous File Transfer (SAFT) protocol. The server is normally called by inetd (8) and receives files or messages sent by SAFT-clients to the. Files are stored in the recipient’s spool and messages are written to the recipient’s terminals.

The −4 and −6 options explicitly force IPv4 or IPv6 connections. By default, the program will try to resolve the name given, and choose the appropriate protocol automatically. If resolving a host name returns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, sendfiled will try to use the adresses in the order they are returned by the resolver.

If the −d option is specified, debugging information is written to /var/log/sendfiled.dbg.

If the −f option is specified, sendfiled prints the free disk space on /var/spool/sendfile and terminates.

If the −q option is specified, sendfiled processes once the outgoing spool and terminates.

If the −Q option is specified, sendfiled starts an outgoing spool daemon, which runs in an endless loop in the background.

On startup sendfiled reads its configuration file /usr/local/etc/sendfile.cf, but you can specify with −c configfile an alternate configuration file.

sendfiled is also an O-SAFT server, which means authenticated clients can fetch files. See fetchfile (4) for details.

sfdconf is the sendfiled configuration helper program. It has its own usage help, just type sfdconf -h
