NAME

       yafc - Yet another FTP client

SYNOPSIS

       yafc [options] [proto://][user[:password]@]hostname[:port][/directory]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  documents	Yafc. Yafc is quite a powerful ftp client.  It is a console interface to the ftp protocol. If you're looking for a
       nice GUI client, Yafc is not for you. If you, however, use ftp often and want a fast, powerful, friendly client Yafc is here for you...

       Some of the features are recursive get/put/ls/rm, nohup transfers, colored ls, cached directory listings, autologin and bookmarks, powerful
       aliases and extensive tab completion.

OPTIONS

       -a, --anon
	      Try  an  anonymous login, ie login as "anonymous" with your email address as password. Your email address is first looked for in the
	      config file ("anon_password"), then in the $EMAIL environment variable. If it's not found, a guess is made from your user- and host-
	      name.

       -d, --debug
	      Print all messages sent to/from server.

       -D, --dump-rc
	      Prints the default configuration file to standard output.

       -m MECH, --mechanism=MECH
	      Try  security  mechanism	MECH  when  logging in to the host specified on the command line. This will override any 'mech' options in
	      yafcrc or bookmarks. MECH is a colon-separated string, supported values are "krb4", "krb5" and "none". The mechanisms are  tried	in
	      the order specified.

       -n, --norc
	      Do not read the users configuration file. This will cause yafc to use its default settings.

       -p, --noproxy
	      Do not connect via the proxy. This should be used if connection to a host on the local network.

       -q, --quiet
	      Do not print the welcome message with copyright information when starting Yafc.

       -r FILE, --rcfile=FILE
	      Read another configuration file.

       -t FILE, --trace[=FILE]
	      Enable  creation of trace file. Trace files are mainly for debugging and includes every response and command Yafc receives/sends. If
	      FILE is specified, use that file instead of the default trace file (~/.yafc/trace/trace.pid, where pid is the process id	number	of
	      Yafc.) Trace files can grow quite large and can safely be deleted.

       -u, --noauto
	      Do not login automagically to the host specified on the command line. You can still use bookmark aliases, though.

       -U, --noalias
	      As ---noauto, but bookmark aliases is disabled (for host on command line).

       -v, --verbose
	      Print all responses received (without response code.)

       -w, --wait=TIME
	      Use  a  different  time to wait between connection attempts, in seconds.	This overrides the value set by "connect_wait_time" in the
	      configuration file.

       -W, --workdir=DIR
	      Use a different working directory for configuration files and temporary files. Default is ~/.yafc.

       -V, --version
	      Print version information on stdout and exit successfully.

       -h, --help
	      Print a short help description on stdout and exit successfully.
