-@SYNTAX:file@
-
-This command is used to tranfer files between clients.
-The actual file transfer stream is sent outside SILC network
-peer to peer between the clients. Before the file transfer
-begins the SILC Key Exchange protocol is performed between
-the two clients to exchange key material. This key material
-is then used to secure the file transfer stream between the
-clients.
-
-The currently active file transfer sessions can be seen by
-giving the FILE command without arguments.
-
-Commands:
-
- SEND <filepath> <nickname> [<local IP> [<local port>]]
- [-no-listener]
-
- Sends file transfer request to <nickname>. This
- makes the <filepath> available to <nickname>.
-
- If the <local IP> is provided then the key exchange
- protocol listener will be bound to that address. If
- <local port> is defined it is bound to that port.
- If they are not defined then the local IP address
- of your machine is used to bind the listener.
-
- If the -no-listener option is used the client does not
- bind locally but assumes that the <nickname> will provide
- the point of connect. This is usefull when the sender
- is behind NAT device.
-
- If the <local IP> and <local port> are ommitted and the
- -no-listener option is not given, the boolean variable
- use_auto_addr will be examined. If it is set the value
- of auto_bind_ip will be used as the IP address to bound
- the listener, the value of auto_public_ip will be the IP
- address sent to the remote client, and the auto_bind_port
- will be the port value to be bound to and sent to the remote
- client. If auto_public_ip is unset, but auto_bind_ip is
- set, SILC client will send the auto_bind_ip variable's
- value to the remote client.
-
- ACCEPT [<nickname>]
-
- Accepts the file transfer request and starts the file
- transfer session. If the <nickname> is omitted the
- last received request is used.
-
- CLOSE [<nickname>]
-
- Closes the file transfer session, or rejects
- file transfer request. If this command is given
- during the file transfer process it will be cancelled.
