## NAME

## SYNOPSIS

**nwfsctrl** \[ **-h** \] \[ **-S** *server* \] \[ **-U** *user name* \] \[ **-P** *password* \| **-n** \] \[ **-C** \] \[ **-p** *ncpfs path* \] **-c** \| **-o** \| **-**\[**f**\]**d**

**nwfsctrl** **\[ -h \]** **\[ -S** *server* **\]** **\[ -U** *user name* **\]** **\[ -P** *password* **\| -n \]** **\[ -C \]** **\[ -p** *ncpfs path* **\]** *server command*

## DESCRIPTION

**nwfsctrl** **performs command on server.**

## OPTIONS

- **-h**

  **With -h nwfsctrl prints a little help text.**

- **-S** *server*

  **is the name of the server you want to use.**

- **-U** *user*

  **user** **is the user name to use for login. To set the server's time, you need** **supervisor privileges.**

- **-P** *password*

  **password** **is the password to use for login. If neither** **-n** **nor** **-P** **are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwfstime** **prompts for a password.**

- **-n**

  **-n** **should be given if no password is required for the login. As you need** **supervisor privileges for setting the date and time, this option is** **probably not used very often.**

- **-C**

  **By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent** **to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off** **this conversion by** **-C.**

- **-o**

  **Open bindery.**

- **-c**

  **Close bindery.**

- **-d**

  **Down fileserver. This command will complain if there are open files on server.**

- **-fd**

  **Down fileserver, regardless of opened files.**

**load** *module options...*

**Load module** *module* **with options** *options...* **on server. Program** **will complain if** *module* **is already loaded.**

**unload** *module*

**Unload module** *module* **from server. Program will complain if** *module* **is not loaded.**

**mount** *volume*

**Mount volume** *volume***.**

**dismount** *volume*

**Dismount volume** *volume***. If there are open files on volume, server** **displays prompt on console. You must go to the server (or telnet/xconsole) and**  **hit** *Y* **or** *N* **to get beyond this point).**

**set** *variable* **=** *value*

**Set server settable variable** *variable* **to value** *value***.**

**open bindery**

**Open bindery.**

**close bindery**

**Close bindery.**

**enable login**

**Enable login to file server.**

**disable login**

**Disable login to file server.**

**disable tts**

**Disable TTS. This probably does not work on Netware 4.11.**

**enable tts**

**Enable TTS. This probably does not work on Netware 4.11.**

## BUGS

**Other commands are not written yet (volume, clear connection ...)**
