NAME
     yafc - Yet another FTP client

SYNOPSIS
     yafc [options] [proto://][user[:password]@]hostname[:port][/directory]

DESCRIPTION
     This  manual  documents Yafc. Yafc is quite a powerful ftp client.  It is a
     console interface to the ftp protocol. If you're looking  for  a  nice  GUI
     client,  Yafc  is	not  for  you. If you, however, use ftp often and want a
     fast, powerful, friendly client Yafc is here for you...

     Some of the features are recursive get/put/ls/rm, nohup transfers,  colored
     ls,  cached  directory  listings, autologin and bookmarks, powerful aliases
     and extensive tab completion.

OPTIONS
     -a, --anon
	    Try an anonymous login, ie login as "anonymous" with your email  ad-
	    dress  as  password.  Your	email address is first looked for in the
	    config file ("anon_password"), then in the $EMAIL environment  vari-
	    able.  If  it's not found, a guess is made from your user- and host-
	    name.

     -d, --debug
	    Print all messages sent to/from server.

     -D, --dump-rc
	    Prints the default configuration file to standard output.

     -m MECH, --mechanism=MECH
	    Try security mechanism MECH when logging in to the host specified on
	    the command line. This will override any 'mech' options in yafcrc or
	    bookmarks. MECH is a colon-separated string,  supported  values  are
	    "krb4",  "krb5"  and  "none".  The mechanisms are tried in the order
	    specified.

     -n, --norc
	    Do not read the users configuration file. This will  cause	yafc  to
	    use its default settings.

     -p, --noproxy
	    Do not connect via the proxy. This should be used if connection to a
	    host on the local network.

     -q, --quiet
	    Do	not  print  the  welcome message with copyright information when
	    starting Yafc.

     -r FILE, --rcfile=FILE
	    Read another configuration file.

     -t FILE, --trace[=FILE]
	    Enable creation of trace file. Trace files are mainly for  debugging
	    and includes every response and command Yafc receives/sends. If FILE
	    is	specified,  use  that  file  instead  of  the default trace file
	    (~/.yafc/trace/trace.pid, where pid is  the  process  id  number  of
	    Yafc.) Trace files can grow quite large and can safely be deleted.

     -u, --noauto
	    Do	not  login  automagically  to  the host specified on the command
	    line. You can still use bookmark aliases, though.

     -U, --noalias
	    As ---noauto, but bookmark aliases is disabled (for host on  command
	    line).

     -v, --verbose
	    Print all responses received (without response code.)

     -w, --wait=TIME
	    Use  a  different  time to wait between connection attempts, in sec-
	    onds.  This overrides the value set by  "connect_wait_time"  in  the
	    configuration file.

     -W, --workdir=DIR
	    Use a different working directory for configuration files and tempo-
	    rary files. Default is ~/.yafc.

     -V, --version
	    Print version information on stdout and exit successfully.

     -h, --help
	    Print a short help description on stdout and exit successfully.
