AXGETPUT(1)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       AXGETPUT(1)

NAME

       axgetput - upload or download files via AX.25 / axspawn Linux login session.

SYNOPSIS

       axgetput [-b blocksize] [-i] [-v] [-h] [?] filename
       axgetput [-b blocksize] [-i] -s [-v] [-h] [?] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       -b blocksize
	      Set the blocksize (frame length) of transmitted data.  Defaults to 256 bytes which matches typical AX.25 network confurations best.

       -i     Compute CRC checksum only.

       .B -s  Indicates  input	from  a  stream.  This option is available only if STDIN is a pipe.  The filename argument may be omitted if -s is
	      given. The length of the file need not to be known.

       -v     print version and exit.

       -h, ?  print usage and exit.

       axgetput is the actual name of the program. You execute for e.g.  bget or bput while axgetput is the common program to which bget and  bput
       are linked to.  axgetput autodetermines which operation mode the user desires.

       axgetput  sets  the  pty  to be 8bit clean (thus enables binary mode for the file transfer). It requires that the user is logged in through
       axspawn(8).

       I. #BIN Protocol

       bget is used for downloading a file on this system from the unix login shell via his ax25 session to his packet-radio terminal program. The
       download "protocol" is the "#BIN" standard known from packet radio mailboxes.

       bput does it the other way round: with this comand, the user may upload a file to this computer.

       The  #BIN protocol provides a CRC consistency check after the file is transfered. The transfer of the file modification time is part of the
       #BIN protocol.

       II. YAPP Protocol

       yget or yput is reserverd for the yapp protocol, which is not supported in this version.

       II. DIDADIT Protocol

       rget or rput is reserverd for the didadit protocol, which is not supported in this version.

       Anyone like to implement yapp and didadit protcols?

NAME

       axspawn.conf - Control the operation of axspawn.

DESCRIPTION

       The axspawn.conf file controls the operation of the axspawn(8) program. The operation of the config file can best be seen in an example:

	      # this is /etc/ax25/axspawn.conf
	      #
	      # allow automatic creation of user accounts
	      create	yes
	      # allow empty password field (so user may login via telnet, too) [default no]
	      create_empty_password	  no
	      #create_empty_password	   yes
	      # create with system utility useradd(8)? [default no]
	      #create_with_useradd  no
	      create_with_useradd  yes
	      #
	      # pwcheck method: password or call or group. [default: password]
	      #pwcheck call
	      #pwcheck group
	      pwcheck password
	      #
	      # guest user if above is 'no' or everything else
	      # fails. Disable with "no"
	      guest	guest
	      #
	      # group id or name for autoaccount
	      group	hams
	      #
	      # first user id to use
	      first_uid 400
	      #
	      # maximum user id
	      max_uid	2000
	      #
	      # where to add the home directory for the new user
	      home	/home/hams
	      #
	      # secure homedirectories (g-rwx)
	      #secure_home yes
	      #
	      # user's shell
	      shell	/bin/bash
	      #
	      # bind user id to callsign for outgoing connects.
	      associate yes

       The  "associate"  option  has to be used with great care. If a user logs on it removes any existing callsign from the translation table for
       this userid and replaces it with the callsign and SSID of the user. This will happen  with  multiple  connects  (same  callsign,  different
       SSIDs), too. Unless you want your users to be able to call out from your machine disable "associate".
