NAME
bpcp - A remote copy utility for delay tolerant networks utilizing NASA JPL's Interplanetary Overlay Network (ION) SYNOPSIS
bpcp [-dqr | -v] [-L bundle_lifetime] [-C custody_on/off] [-S class_of_service] [host1:]file1 ... [host2:]file2 DESCRIPTION
bpcp copies files between hosts utilizing NASA JPL's Interplanetary Overlay Network (ION) to provide a delay tolerant network. File copies from local to remote, remote to local, or remote to remote are permitted. bpcp depends on ION to do any authentication or encryption of file transfers. All covergence layers over which bpcp runs MUST be reliable. The options are permitted as follows: -d Debug output. Repeat for increased verbosity. -q Quiet. Do not output status messages. -r Recursive. -v Display version information. -L bundle_lifetime Bundle lifetime in seconds. Default is 86400 seconds (1 day). -C BP_custody Acceptable values are ON/OFF,YES/NO,1/0. Default is ON. -S class_of_service Bundle Protocol Class of Service for this transfer. Available options are: 0 Bulk Priority 1 Standard Priority 2 Expedited Priority Default is Standard Priority. bpcp utilizes CFDP to preform the actual file transfers. This has several important implications. First, ION's CFDP implementation requires that reliable convergence layers be used to transfer the data. Second, file permissions are not transferred. Files will be made executable on copy. Third, symbolic links are ignored for local to remote transfers and their target is copied for remote transfers. Fourth, all hosts must be specified using ION's IPN naming scheme. In order to preform remote to local transfers or remote to remote transfers, bpcpd must be running on the remote hosts. However, bpcp should NOT be run simultaneously with bpcpd or cfdptest. EXIT STATUS
0 bpcp terminated normally. 1 bpcp terminated abnormally. Check console and the ion.log file for error messages. FILES
No configuration files are needed. ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables apply. BUGS

CFDPADMIN(1)							 CFDP executables						      CFDPADMIN(1)

NAME
cfdpadmin - ION's CCSDS File Delivery Protocol (CFDP) administration interface SYNOPSIS
cfdpadmin [ commands_filename | . ] DESCRIPTION
cfdpadmin configures, starts, manages, and stops CFDP operations for the local ION node. It operates in response to CFDP configuration commands found in the file commands_filename, if provided; if not, cfdpadmin prints a simple prompt (:) so that the user may type commands directly into standard input. If commands_filename is a period (.), the effect is the same as if a command file containing the single command 'x' were passed to cfdpadmin -- that is, the ION node's cfdpclock task and UT layer service task (nominally bputa) are stopped. The format of commands for commands_filename can be queried from cfdpadmin with the 'h' or '?' commands at the prompt. The commands are documented in cfdprc(5). EXIT STATUS
0 Successful completion of CFDP administration. EXAMPLES
cfdpadmin Enter interactive CFDP configuration command entry mode. cfdpadmin host1.cfdprc Execute all configuration commands in host1.cfdprc, then terminate immediately. cfdpadmin . Stop all CFDP operations on the local node. FILES
See cfdprc(5) for details of the CFDP configuration commands. ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables apply. DIAGNOSTICS
Note: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited. If you edit the cfdprc file on a Windows machine, be sure to use dos2unix to convert it to Unix text format before presenting it to cfdpadmin. Otherwise cfdpadmin will detect syntax errors and will not function satisfactorily. The following diagnostics may be issued to the logfile ion.log: cfdpadmin can't attach to ION. There is no SDR data store for cfdpadmin to use. You should run ionadmin(1) first, to set up an SDR data store for ION. Can't open command file... The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't exist. Various errors that don't cause cfdpadmin to fail but are noted in the ion.log log file may be caused by improperly formatted commands given at the prompt or in the commands_filename file. Please see cfdprc(5) for details. BUGS
