sendfile - send files to remote users

SYNOPSIS

Œ sendfile Œ
Œ sf Œ
Œ [ Œ -a Œ | Œ -i Œ ] Œ file(s) Œ [ Œ to Œ ] Œ user
Œ

sendfile sends the file specified to the remote host of the indicated user using UFT protocol. The remote user determines disposition.

sendfile can use standard input. Specify the special filename "-".

Œ -a Œ Œ treat this as an ASCII (plain text) file Œ
Œ -i Œ Œ treat this object as a "binary" file Œ

BUGS

sendfile should have a mail (MIME) fallback, so that you could send files to non-UFT hosts. (it used to have this feature)

NOTES

UFT protocol is suitable for transferring a wide range of object types, including electronic mail and print.
Most often, UFT is used to send source code, data files, large files, or any non-correspondence.

Inspired by BITNET, which carried non-mail distinctly from "mail", and by FRED, which was never developed though it was well conceived, and by LPR/LPD, FTP, and SMTP.
