SENDFILE(1)		  User Commands		      SENDFILE(1)

NAME
     sendfile -	send file(s) via Internet


SYNOPSIS
     sendfile [	-stduvoqQ ] [ -c comment ] [ -ps=[my_ID] ]  [	-
     pe=[to_user] ] file [...]	user[@host]

     sendfile -a archive [ -uvqQ ] [ -c	comment	] [ -ps[=my_ID]	]
     [ -pe[=to_user] ] file_or_directory [...] user[@host]


DESCRIPTION
     sendfile sends files to the specified recipient.

     On	the receiving site there must be  a  SAFT-server  (Simple
     Asynchronous  File	 Transfer) installed like sendfiled which
     stores incoming files into	the recipients spool-directory.


     SAFT knows	about 3	file types:

     BINARY  Byte-stream file which will not be	modified.

     SOURCE  Record oriented program source file. Only	EOL  will
	     be	translated.

     TEXT    Human readable text files.	EOL and	the character set
	     (like German umlauts) will	be translated.

     Files can be sent compressed or  pgp-encrypted  and/or  pgp-
     signed.  As  an  extension	to SAFT, sendfile is able to send
     multiple binary files in one archive file.

     Default mode  for	sendfile  is  sending  compressed  binary
     files.

OPTIONS
     -s	     Send in source mode (not needed if	sending	to a unix
	     host).

     -t	     Send in text mode (not needed if sending to  a  unix
	     host).

     -v	     Verbose mode: show	SAFT protocol messages.

     -u	     Send uncompressed.

     -a	     Send files	 or  whole  directories	 as  one  archive
	     (binary  mode only).  You have to specify an archive
	     name.

     -d	     Delete previous sent file.	No wildcards allowed.

     -o	     Overwrite already sent file(s) with same name.

     -q	     Quiet mode	1: print no transfer messages.

     -Q	     Quiet mode	2:  print  no  transfer,  information  or
	     warning messages.

     -c	     Add a short comment to a single file.

     -pc     Encrypt file(s) with pgp (IDEA symmetric).

     -pe     Encrypt file(s) with pgp (public key).

     -ps     Add pgp signature(s) to the file(s).

ARGUMENTS
     user    Recipient user name.  Can	be  an	alias,	too.  See
	     below.

     file    File name to be sent. Only	when using the -a archive
	     option you	may specify any	file or	directory.
