UNIX/GETFILES
AMIGA/GETFILES
GETFILES [-Nnet#] [-dlocaldir] [-c] file/dir file/dir file/dir ..
GetFiles file transfer client. Download the specified files and or
dirs from the remote machine into the current directory, or the
directory specified if the -d option is used. Entire directory
trees may be downloaded
The -c "continue" option only downloads files which do not already
exist. For files which do exist, if the local file size is less
than the remote file size, the remainder will be downloaded and
appended to the local file.
SECURITY
The remote host, if an amiga, will impose security restrictions on
those files allowed to be downloaded according to the comment field
of said files or any parent directory and the current DNET_READ
accesslevel.
If the remote AMIGA's DNET_READ enviroment variable is set 9 or
higher, no access restrictions are imposed.
If the remote AMIGA's DNET_READ enviroment variable is less than
9, the comment field of the requested file or the comment field
of any parent directory to that file (checked all the way to the
root directory if necessary) must contain a field:
AC=<n>
where <n> is a value less than or equal to the security level
(DNET_READ enviroment variable). For example, if the remote user
sets the DNET_READ enviroment variable to 5 (normally done by
modifying the s:dnet.config file), and then sets the comment field
for his GAMES: volume to AC=5, remote users who connect to his
amiga will only be allowed to download files from that volume.
The comment field will be used to house other parameters in the
future.
