# bpcpd(1)

ION Delay Tolerant Networking remote file copy daemon

## NAME

bpcpd - ION Delay Tolerant Networking remote file copy daemon

## SYNOPSIS

**bpcpd** \[-d \| -v\]

## DESCRIPTION

**bpcpd** is the daemon for **bpcp**. Together these programs copy files between hosts utilizing NASA JPL's Interplanetary Overlay Network (ION) to provide a delay tolerant network.

The options are permitted as follows:

 **-d**	Debug output. Repeat for increased verbosity.

 **-v**	Display version information.

**bpcpd** must be running in order to copy files from this host to another host (i.e. remote to local). Copies in the other direction (local to remote) do not require **bpcpd**. Further, **bpcpd** should NOT be run simultaneously with **bpcp** or **cfdptest**.

## EXIT STATUS

- "0"

  **bpcpd** terminated normally.

- "1"

  **bpcpd** terminated abnormally. Check console and the **ion.log** file for error messages.

## FILES

No configuration files are needed.

## ENVIRONMENT

No environment variables apply.
