aftp(1)                DragonFly General Commands Manual               aftp(1)


NAME

       aftp - Transfer files to/from Apple II disk images.


SYNOPSIS

       aftp   [-poirh]  disk image ...


DESCRIPTION

       aftp(1) manipulates and browses Apple II disk images.  It supports both
       Apple ][ DOS 3.3, ProDOS and XGS images.  Both binary floppy images
       (.IIE) and hard disk volume (.HDV) images are also supported.


OPTIONS

       -p     use a Prodos filesystem.

       -o     use a Prodos ordered image.

       -i     use an XGS image file.

       -r     load images as read-only.

       -h     display aftp help.


NOTES

       When invoked with a single disk image filename as the first parameter,
       aftp operates in interactive mode and all of the interactive commands
       are available. Specifing multiple disk images will display the root
       directory of each image and then terminate without entering interactive
       mode.

       If you have ever used the unix ftp(1) command, the aftp(1) commands
       will be very familiar.  Interactive commands are:

       dir    display disk image directory.

       ls     alias for the dir command.

       get [file]
              get a file from the disk image.

       put [file]
              put a file in the disk image.

       del [file]
              delete a file from the disk image.

       cd [dir]
              change the current disk image directory.

       text   set text mode.

       binary set binary mode.

       help   display help.

       dump   display a hex dump of the disk image.

       !command
              shell escape.

       quit   exit the program.

       When putting files in disk images, the following default attributes
       will be used depending on whether you are transferring in binary or
       text mode:

       DOS, Text           File type: T
       DOS, Binary         File type: B
       ProDOS, Text        File type: TXT, SubType: R=0
       ProDOS, Binary      File type: BIN, SubType: A$=2000


BUGS

       File extentions are not properly recognised. To correct this problem
       use a command line option to specify the type of disk image you are
       accessing.

       There is bound to be other bugs so be sure to backup your disk images
       just in case.

       Bug reports can be sent to Andru Luvisi <luvisi@andru.sonoma.edu>.
