sendfiled - Simple Asynchronous File Transfer server

sendfiled [ -d ] [ -f ] [ -q ] [ -Q ] [ -c configfile ]

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.

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
