- 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.
