NAME

       bnftp - Battle.net file transfer client

SYNOPSIS

       bnftp [options] [servername [serverport]]

DESCRIPTION

       bnftp  is  a  simple  program  for  downloading data files from a bnetd
       server.  These files include tos.txt,  upgrade  MPQ  archives,  and  ad
       banners.

       If  no servername is specified, localhost is assumed.  If no serverport
       is specified, 6112 is assumed.

       After the program is started it will connect to  the  server  and  then
       prompt  for  the  filename to download.  No directory components may be
       used in the filename.  The file is copied to a file with the same  name
       in the current directory.

OPTIONS

       -b     Causes bnftp to emulate a Brood Wars client.

              short  options which may be used instead for the common clients.

BUGS

       This program assumes that the terminal will move to  the  beginning  of
       the  current  line  when the carriage return character (^M) is printed.
       It also assumes the backspace character (^H) will move  one  column  to
       the  left  that character printed after that will replace those already
       on the screen.

       The terminal settings are not consulted for keybindings.  The following
       are assumed:

       ^H     delete the character to the left of the cursor

       ^J     accept current line

       ^M (return)
              accept current line

       ^T     transpose the last two characters

       ^W     delete word to the left of the cursor

       ^U     delete the whole input line

       ^[ (escape)
              cancel the current input line

       ^? (delete)
              delete the character to the left of the cursor
