man newsflash (Commandes) - retrieves nes from one server to another.

NAME

newsflash - retrieves nes from one server to another.

SYNOPSIS

newsflash [options]

DESCRIPTION

Newsflash retrieves news articles via NNTP from one server and delivers them to another. It requires at least read-only permissions on the remote server, and needs to have peer permissions on the local server. It works well with INN, but should also work with any other RFC977 compliant news software. Newsflash's highly parallel design is optimized for throughput, which makes quite a difference to INN's nntpget and the like. newsflash,
