DESCRIPTION
xtftp is a terminal server program for use by GNUspool where
the destination is a server which accepts FTP protocol. Data is taken
from standard input, unless overridden by the -i option.
OPTIONS
- -h hostname
-
This is the host name or IP address to be used to access the
printer. In GNUspool setup files, it may be appropriate to
substitute $SPOOLDEV or $SPOOLPTR here.
- -A hostname
-
Specifies the sending hostname or IP address to be as given. This may
be required when sending from hosts with multiple IP addresses.
- -p port number
-
This is the port number to be used, if not ftp.
- -u user
-
This is the user name to be quoted to the FTP server.
- -w word
-
This is the password to be quoted to the FTP server.
- -o outfile
-
This is the output file to be stored at the server end. In some cases
this may designate the actual printer, and it may be useful to use
$SPOOLDEV as the argument to be expanded in GNUspool setup files.
- -D directory
-
This is the output file to be stored in at the server end, if not the
``home directory''. In some cases this may designate tha actual printer,
and it may be useful to use $SPOOLDEV as the argument to be
expanded in GNUspool setup files.
- -T timeout
-
This gives the timeout in milliseconds to await for responses from the
server.
- -i input
-
Specify input file if not standard input.
- -t
-
Specify text mode.
- -b
-
Specify binary mode.
- -d
-
Debug. Displays activities on standard error. Increasing information
is given if more than one -d option is specified.
