NAME

bbftpcd - daemon used to transfer files using compression and parallel streams

 

SYNOPSIS

bbftpcd -v

bbftpcd -u RemoteUsername [ -r NumberOfTries ] RemoteHost

 

DESCRIPTION

Use the bbftpcd command to start a daemon which will be controlled by further bbftpc commands.

This daemon will just keep in memory the RemoteUsername and the RemoteHost (and also the RemotePassword that will be asked). It has been develloped in order to improve security by avoiding to keep a password in a file.

The bbftpd daemon has to be installed on the remote host in order to be able to transfer files.

bbftpcd may be used in one of the following ways:

bbftpcd

to print a short help

bbftpcd -v

to write to standard output the version of the software.

bbftpcd [ Options ] -u RemoteUsername RemoteHost

to start the daemon using RemoteUsername on RemoteHost. The password for the RemoteUsername will then be requested interactively and transmitted encrypted to the RemoteHost. See OPTIONS section, for a full description of the Options.
