NAME

       fetchfile - fetch file(s) via O-SAFT protocol

SYNOPSIS

       fetchfile [ -46lakdPriqQvVI ] [ -f user ] [ -s [user@]server ] [ -C[wr]=conffile ] filename

       fetchfile [ -lakdPriqQvVI ] [ -f user ] [ -s [user@]server ] [ -C[wr]=conffile ] -n filenumber

DESCRIPTION

       fetchfile fetches files from a SAFT server to the local user spool.

       In  the	SAFT server spool there must lay your sendfile public key to identify yourself. This key can be generated by the fetchfile -I com-
       mand and has to be transfered to the SAFT server at the very first time.  This prevents other people to steal your files.

       You may list or fetch your files from the server. But remember, they are stored first in your  local  sendfile  spool.  You  have  to  call
       receive to really receive them to your current directory.

OPTIONS

       -4, -6  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, fetchfile will try to use the adresses in
	       the order they are returned by the resolver.

       -l      Only list the files on the server.

       -a      Fetch all files.

       -k      Keep files on server after fetching.

       -d      Delete files without receiving.

       -n      Specify the file number instead of the file name.

       -r      Call receive automaticly afterwards.

       -f user Restrict file selection to this specifc user.

       -V      Show version information and exit.

       -v      Be verbose and show SAFT protocol messages.

       -P      Send files to stdout directly.

       -i      Ignore testing whether file has been already fetched.

       -q      Quiet mode 1: print no transfer messages.

       -Q      Quiet mode 2: print no transfer, information or warning messages.

       -I      Initialize fetchfile and the pgp key pair.

       -s [user@]host
	       Specify an alternate saft server and/or alternate user.

       -Cr=conffile
	       Read configuration file "config" or "restrictions" from server.

       -Cw=conffile
	       Write configuration file "config" or "restrictions" to server.
