.SH NAME
yafc - Yet another FTP client
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B yafc [options]
[\fIproto\fP://][\fIuser\fP[:\fIpassword\fP]@]\fIhostname\fP[:\fIport\fP][/\fIdirectory\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual documents \fBYafc\fP. \fBYafc\fP 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...
.PP
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.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B -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.
.TP
.B -d, --debug
Print all messages sent to/from server.
.TP
.B -D, --dump-rc
Prints the default configuration file to standard output.
.TP
.B -m \fIMECH\fP, --mechanism=\fIMECH\fP
Try security mechanism MECH when logging in to the host specified on the
command line. This will override any 'mech' options in \fIyafcrc\fP or
\fIbookmarks\fP. MECH is a colon-separated string,
supported values are "krb4", "krb5" and "none". The mechanisms are tried in
the order specified.
.TP
.B -n, --norc
Do not read the users configuration file. This will cause yafc to use its default settings.
.TP
.B -p, --noproxy
Do not connect via the proxy. This should be used if connection to a host on
the local network.
.TP
.B -q, --quiet
Do not print the welcome message with copyright information when starting Yafc.
.TP
.B -r \fIFILE\fP, --rcfile=\fIFILE\fP
Read another configuration file.
.TP
.B -t \fIFILE\fP, --trace[=\fIFILE\fP]
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 (\fI~/.yafc/trace/trace.pid\fP, where pid is the process id number of Yafc.) Trace files can
grow quite large and can safely be deleted.
.TP
.B -u, --noauto
Do not login automagically to the host specified on the command line. You can
still use bookmark aliases, though.
.TP
.B -U, --noalias
As ---noauto, but bookmark aliases is disabled (for host on command line).
.TP
.B -v, --verbose
Print all responses received (without response code.)
.TP
.B -w, --wait=\fITIME\fP
Use a different time to wait between connection attempts, in seconds.
This overrides the value set by "connect_wait_time" in the configuration
file.
.TP
.B -W, --workdir=\fIDIR\fP
Use a different working directory for configuration files and
temporary files. Default is \fI~/.yafc\fP.
.TP
.B -V, --version
Print version information on stdout and exit successfully.
.TP
.B -h, --help
Print a short help description on stdout and exit successfully.
