NAME

fetchfile - fetch file(s) via O-SAFT protocol

SYNOPSIS

fetchfile [ -lakdPriqQvVI ] [ -f user ] [ -s [user@]server ] [ -C[wr]=conffile ] filename

fetchfile [ -lakdPriqQvVI ] [ -f user ] [ -s [user@]server ] [ -C[wr]=conffile ] -n filenumber

DESCRIPTION

fetchfile fetches files from a SAFT server to the local user spool.

In the SAFT server spool there must lay your sendfile public key to identify yourself. This key can be generated by the fetchfile -I command and has to be transfered to the SAFT server at the very first time. This prevents other people to steal your files.

You may list or fetch your files from the server. But remember, they are stored first in your local sendfile spool. You have to call receive to really receive them to your current directory.

-f user

-V

-v

-P
Send files to stdout directly.
-i
