NAME

SYNOPSIS

10       afpcmd [-r [afp url]
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       afpcmd is a command-line tool to help transfer  files  to  and  from  a
15       server  using  AFP.  This is typically either Netatalk or Mac OS or Mac
16       OS X.
17
18       This can be done as a non-root user. It offers  either  an  interactive
19       command-line (like a traditional FTP client) or for batch retrievals.
20
21       Do  not  confuse  this with the FUSE mounting tools (mount_afp, afpfsd,
22       afp_client), which offer the ability to mount an entire filesystem.

OPTIONS

26       -r sets the recursive flag.

33       version compatibility information.

Batch mode

37       Batch file transfers can be done in one of two ways:
38
39       afpcmd -r [afp url to directory]
40
41       This does a recursive transfer of all subdirectories and files locally.
42
43       afpcmd [afp url to file]
44
45       This transfers just the file locally.
46
47       After either of these is finished, the command exits.
48
49

Interactive mode

51       If  a  URL  is provided on the command line, afpcmd connects and enters
52       the volume and directory specified.
53
54       Standard readline  keystrokes  are  enabled.   Command  line  competion
55       (using  tab)  and history (using up and down arrows) is provided. Local
56       filename completion is enabled.
