NAME
darxite - daemon that downloads files via FTP/HTTP in the background.
SYNOPSIS
darxite [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Darxite is a daemon that can download a batch of files via FTP or HTTP in the background. It can be controlled by "client" programs that provide a user interface; client programs in the current release include nice GTK and command-line FTP clients, a GNOME Panel applet and many more.
This man page is only concerned with the daemon's operation.
OPTIONS
- -v/--version
-
Shows the daemon's version and exits.
- -h/--help
-
Shows some usage information and exits.
- -d/--directory=<dir>
-
By default, the daemon looks for program files in the directory "$HOME/.darxite". You can make it look elsewhere with this option.
- -k/--kill
-
Instead of running the daemon, this option will terminate a currently running daemon, and warn if the daemon isn't running.
- -l/--listen=<port>
-
To allow remote clients to connect to the daemon, set the port the daemon should listen on with this option. If you allow remote client connection, you should also set a password with the "-p" option.
- -o/--output=<dir>
-
By default, files will be downloaded into the user's home directory. This option specifies an alternative directory for them to be placed.
- -p/--password=<pass>
-
Clients that connect to the daemon from a remote host must use this password. If it is not specified, it will be blank.
- -q/--quiet
-
If a copy of the daemon is already running, fail silently instead of printing an error message. This is useful for running the daemon in scripts etc.
- -r/--reload
-
Instead of running the daemon, this option will cause a currently running daemon to reload its config files.
