NAME
     afpcmd - Transfer files over the networking using the Apple Filing Protocol
     (AFP)

SYNOPSIS
     afpcmd [-r [afp url]

DESCRIPTION
     afpcmd  is  a command-line tool to help transfer files to and from a server
     using AFP.  This is typically either Netatalk or Mac OS or Mac OS X.

     This can be done as a non-root user. It offers either an  interactive  com-
     mand-line (like a traditional FTP client) or for batch retrievals.

     Do  not  confuse  this  with  the	FUSE  mounting tools (mount_afp, afpfsd,
     afp_client), which offer the ability to mount an entire filesystem.

OPTIONS
     -r sets the recursive flag.

     afp url uses the standard AFP URL format.

AFP version support
     Look at the afpfs-ng documentation for more  information  on  specific  AFP
     version compatibility information.

Batch mode
     Batch file transfers can be done in one of two ways:

     afpcmd -r [afp url to directory]

     This does a recursive transfer of all subdirectories and files locally.

     afpcmd [afp url to file]

     This transfers just the file locally.

     After either of these is finished, the command exits.

Interactive mode
     If  a  URL  is provided on the command line, afpcmd connects and enters the
     volume and directory specified.

     Standard readline keystrokes are enabled.	Command  line  competion  (using
     tab)  and	history  (using  up and down arrows) is provided. Local filename
     completion is enabled.

     Most common commands

     connect <afp URL>: Connect to server, change to volume and directory

     cd: Change directories on the server

     get <filename>: retrieve file

     get -r <directory>: Recursively retrieve the directory

     put <filename>: Upload file

     quit: Quit

     Conect/disconnect commands

     disconnect: Disconnect from current server

     passwd: Prompts for a new password without showing on screen

     user <user>: Set the user

     passwd: change the password on the server. Does not work.

     Remote directory commands

     pwd: Show current directory on server

     mkdir <directory>: create new directory

     rmdir <directory: remove directory

     ls or dir: show files in current directory

     Remote file commands

     mv or rename old_file new_file: Rename <old file> to <new file>

     touch <filename>: Create a blank file

     view <filename>: Show file

     chmod: <file> <mode>: Change the mode of a file on the server

     delete of rm: <file>: Remove file from the server

     Status commands

     status: Show status of the connection and details.  For debugging.

     df: Show the disk size and available blocks.

     Local commands

     lpwd: Show current local

     lcd: Change local directory

     Other commands

     help or ?: show help

     testafp: various tests for developers

AFP URLs
     A typical usage of afpcmd is:

     afpcmd afp://username:password@servername/volume

     The complete syntax of a URL is:

     afp://username;AUTH=authtype:password@server:port/volume/path

     If a password of "-" is provided, the user is prompted for a password.

REPORTING BUGS
     Report bugs to the afpfs-ng-devel@sf.net mailing list.
