mlftp - larsbrinkhoff/its-manual GitHub Wiki

mlftp is a new file transfer running on the host. It's using the Chaos network, so the cbridge program must be running. The program is found in the tools/chaosnet-tools subdirectory.

Usage:

mlftp -r <host> <ITS file> <host file>
Read the ITS file and save it as host file.

mlftp -w <host> <ITS file> <host file>
Write the ITS file with the contents of host file.

The host argument is a Chaosnet host name, or an octal node number.

On the host side, the files are stored using the "ITS evacuate" format which is the normal way to store ITS files as 8-bit bytes. Note that text file line endings are single newline characters. If you want to have 1:1 mapping with CR LF line endings, use the -Wascii option.
