ums2net8

Daemon for ums to network proxy

Usage

ums2net -c ConfigFile [-d] [-P PIDFile]

Overview

This manual page documents briefly the ums2net command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

ums2net is a daemon that allows to use nc to flash a USB Mass Storage device.

The program comes up normally as a daemon, opens the TCP ports specified in the configuration file, and waits for connections. Once a connection occurs, the program attempts to open the device and write any data received from the network onto it. If another user is already using the connection, the connections is blocked until another user is done.

Options

The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.

-c ConfigFile

Load configs from ConfigFile.

-d

Debug mode, don't detach from the console.

-P PIDFile

Generate pid file.

Files
