TENTACLE_CLIENT(1)					   Client file transfer protocol					TENTACLE_CLIENT(1)

NAME

       tentacle_client - a client file transfer protocol

SYNOPSIS

       tentacle_client <options> Tentacle is a client/server file transfer protocol that aims to be:

       -   Executable programs or shell commands
       -   System calls (functions provided by the kernel)
       -   Library calls (functions within program libraries)

       Tentacle  was  created  to  replace  more complex tools like SCP and FTP for simple file transfer/retrieval, and switch from authentication
       mechanisms like .netrc, interactive logins and SSH keys to X.509 certificates. Simple password authentication over a SSL secured connection
       is supported too.

       The  client  and  server  (TCP port 41121) are designed to be run from the command line or called from a shell script, and no configuration
       files are needed.

       Tentacle is now the default file transfer method for Pandora FMS and Babel Enterprise.

       Tentacle is implemented in Perl and ANSI C (Windows platforms included).

       You can download it and get more information at the official Sourceforge website http://tentacled.sourceforge.net/.

OPTIONS

       Tentacle Client options :
	      -a address : Server address (default 127.0.0.1).
	      -c : Enable SSL without a client certificate.
	      -e cert : OpenSSL certificate file. Enables SSL.
	      -f ca : Verify that the peer certificate is signed by a ca.
	      -g : Get files from the server.
	      -h : Show help.
	      -k key : OpenSSL private key file.
	      -p port : Server port (default 41121).
	      -q : Quiet. Do now print error messages.
	      -r number : Number of retries for network operations (default 3).
	      -t time : Time-out for network operations in seconds (default 1s).
	      -v : Be verbose.
	      -w : Prompt for OpenSSL private key password.
	      -x pwd : Server password.

EXAMPLES

       tentacle_client -a 192.168.1.1 -v /bin/bash
	      Simple file transfer with maximum file size set to 1MB

       tentacle_client -a 192.168.1.1 -x password -v /bin/bash
	      Simple file transfer with password authentication (not secure)

       tentacle_client -a 192.168.1.1 -x password -e cert.pem -k key.pem -v /bin/bash
	      Secure file transfer with client certificate and password authentication

NOTES

       Tentacle requires Perl 5.8 or higher to works
