NAME
     bnftp - Battle.net file transfer client

SYNOPSIS
     bnftp [options] [servername [serverport]]

DESCRIPTION
     bnftp  is	a simple program for downloading data files from a bnetd server.
     These files include tos.txt, upgrade MPQ archives, and ad banners.

     If no servername is specified, localhost is assumed.  If no  serverport  is
     specified, 6112 is assumed.

     After  the program is started it will connect to the server and then prompt
     for the filename to download.  No directory components may be used  in  the
     filename.	 The  file is copied to a file with the same name in the current
     directory.

OPTIONS
     -b     Causes bnftp to emulate a Brood Wars client.

     --client
	    Causes bnftp to emulate a specific	client.   The  following  client
	    tags are recognized: DRTL DSHR STAR SSHR SEXP W2BN.  There are short
	    options which may be used instead for the common clients.

     -d     Causes bnftp to emulate a Diablo client.

     -h --help --usage
	    Print usage information and exit.

     -s     Causes bnftp to emulate a Starcraft client.

     -v --version
	    Print its version number and exit.

     -w     Causes bnftp to emulate a Warcraft II BNE client.

NOTES
     The current version is available with the bnetd distribution at:

	    http://www.bnetd.org/

BUGS
     This  program  assumes  that the terminal will move to the beginning of the
     current line when the carriage return character (^M) is printed.	It  also
     assumes  the backspace character (^H) will move one column to the left that
     character printed after that will replace those already on the screen.

     The terminal settings are not consulted for keybindings.  The following are
     assumed:

     ^H     delete the character to the left of the cursor

     ^J     accept current line

     ^M (return)
	    accept current line

     ^T     transpose the last two characters

     ^W     delete word to the left of the cursor

     ^U     delete the whole input line

     ^[ (escape)
	    cancel the current input line

     ^? (delete)
	    delete the character to the left of the cursor
