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
