.TH mcserv 8 "August 2009" "MC Version 4.7.0-pre1" "GNU Midnight Commander"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
mcserv \- Midnight Commander file server.
|
|
.SH USAGE
|
|
.B mcserv
|
|
[\-diqvf] [\-p portnum]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
mcserv is the server program for the Midnight Commander networking
|
|
file system. It provides access to the host file system to clients
|
|
running the Midnight file system (currently, only the Midnight
|
|
Commander file manager).
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the program is run as root the program will try to get a reserved
|
|
port otherwise it will use 9876 as the port.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the system has a portmapper running, then the port will be
|
|
registered with the portmapper and thus clients will automatically
|
|
connect to the right port. If the system does not have a portmapper,
|
|
then a port should be manually specified with the -p option (see
|
|
below).
|

|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "-d"
|
|
Become a daemon, you should use this flag if you start the program
|
|
from one of the system startup files. This flag will make the program
|
|
handle any number of incoming requests by forking a new copy of itself
|
|
for each client.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "-q"
|
|
Quiet mode.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "-p"
|
|
To make the server listen on the specified
|
|
.B portnum
|
|
port.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "-f"
|
|
Allow ftp authentication as a fallback if the other methods fail.
|
|
This is only useful on systems where the password checking method is not
|
|
supported by this version of mcserv. The local ftp server is contacted
|
|
with the username and password. The user is authenticated if the ftp
|
|
server accepts the credentials. Use this option with care and only
|
|
when necessary.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "-v"
|
|
Toggle on the verbose mode.

|
.SH BUGS
|
|
This program currently uses port 9876, and not a system secure port.
|
|
This is a potential security problem since it could be run by any user
|
|
on the system if the system daemon is not running.
