NAME
sendfiled - Simple Asynchronous File Transfer server
SYNOPSIS
sendfiled [ -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(1,8) the recipient's spool and messages are written to the recipi-
ent's terminals.
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(1,2) 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 dae-
mon, which runs in(1,8) an endless loop in(1,8) the background.
On startup sendfiled reads its configuration file(1,n) /usr/local/etc/send-
file.cf, but you can specify with -c configfile an alternate configura-
tion 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
