NAME

fput - upload files to the FSP database

SYNOPSIS

fput
fput filename ...

DESCRIPTION

When used without arguments, a list of file names is read from the standard input. When arguments are given, the arguments are taken to be the list of file names. For each file named in the list, fput copies the file from the client's current working directory in the client machine to the FSP database.

ENVIRONMENT

The following variables associate this program with a FSP database:

FSP_HOST: The name or internet number of the machine with the FSP server.
FSP_PORT: The port number of the UDP socket used by the FSP server.
FSP_LOCALPORT: The port number of the UDP socket used by FSP client utilities. The only reason to define this varable is to ensure mutual exclusion of client commands when none of the udp packet multiplexing mechanisms are enabled during compile time. You may pick any number not currently used for other purposes.
FSP_DIR: The current working directory of the client in the FSP database. The root of the database is /.
FSP_TRACE: If this variable is set, fput will display the number of kilo-byte blocks transfered as transfer progresses.
