# darxget(1)

Darxite client to get a URL from the command-line

## NAME

darxget - Darxite client to get a URL from the command-line

## SYNOPSIS

**darxget \[OPTIONS\] URL**

## DESCRIPTION

**darxget** is a simple Darxite client that gets a URL from the command-line. It's very useful for scripts and for basic use.

## OPTIONS

- \-v, --version

  Shows the program's version and exits.

- \-h, --help

  Shows some usage information and exits.

- \-b, --blocking

  Instead of returning immediately, does not return until the file to be transferred is complete.

- \-c\<host\>:\<port\>, --connect \<host\>:\<port\>

  Connects to the Darxite daemon running on \<host\>, listening on \<port\>. If run with this option, the first thing the program will do is ask for a password.

- \-e, --echo

  Echoes the command sent to the daemon as it is sent.

- \-f\<flags\>, --flags \<flags\>

  Uses \<flags\> as file transfer options. Allowable flags are defined in the develop.txt file. Warning: this option overrides many others and is mainly included for use in debugging.

- \-n, --no-resume

  By default, if the same file is transferred twice, it will be resumed the second time. This option overrides this behaviour and wipes the local file before starting transfer.

- \-o\<path\>, --output \<path\>

  Places the file to be transferred in the specified location. If \<path\>  ends in a slash, the file will retain its name but be placed in the directory specified.

- \-p, --paused

  Add the file to the batch "paused", ie. it will be queued until it is resumed.

- \-q, --quiet

  Makes the program completely silent.

- \-r, --recursive

  Gets an FTP directory recursively.

- \-t\<secs\>, --timeout \<secs\>

  When waiting for the daemon to respond, timeout after \<secs\>. This option is only really useful when running the daemon remotely with a very slow connection.

- \-u\<user\>, --user \<user\>

  Log into the FTP site with login name \<user\>. The program  will ask for a password before the file starts being transferred.
