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 /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
