IFP(1)                 DragonFly General Commands Manual                IFP(1)

NAME
       ifp - access iRiver iFP audio devices

SYNOPSIS
       ifp [option] command [arguments ...]

DESCRIPTION
       ifp lets you manage your music on an iRiver iFP music player acting in
       "Manager Mode". If your player is using "UMS Mode", then you don't need
       this program; it will appear as new drive when you plug it in.

       ifp can upload or download files or directories, delete or make
       directories on the device, format the device, or upgrade your firmware.

       The following options are available:

       -h, --help
              Print help message.

COMMANDS
       ls [directory]
              List the files and directories on the device. The root directory
              is /.  Directories are preceded with 'd' and other files with
              'f'.

       df     Display total and free space on the device.

       upload localfile remotefile
              Copy the file named localfile to the iFP device, and name it
              remotefile. (This is like cp.)

       upload localfile remotedir
              Copy the file named localfile to the iFP device, into remotedir.
              (This is like cp.)

       upload localdir remotedir
              Copy the entire directory localdir to the device, into
              remotedir.  This copies into a subdirectory, so upload foo /
              puts files from the directory foo info /foo on the device. (This
              is like cp -R.) This uploads the entire directory, not just
              audio files.

       put localfile | localdir
              Upload the file or directory to the device, with the same name
              it has locally. If a directory is given, it is put in /.

       download remotefile localfile

       download remotefile localdir

       download remotedir localdir
              Like upload, but copies from the iFP device to your system. Some
              proprietary file types may not be downloaded.

       get remotefile | remotedir
              Like put, but copies files or directories from the device to
              your current working directory.

       rm [-r] file
              Delete (recursively) a file (or directory) on the device.

       rmdir dir
              Delete an empty directory on the device.

       mkdir dir
              Create a directory on the device.

       battery
              Display battery status of the device.

       typestring
              Display the model number of the device.

       firmversion
              Display the firmware revision currently on the device.

       format Reformat the device's memory. This will delete all your music.

       firmupdate FIRMWARE.HEX
              Upload the file FIRMWARE.HEX as new firmware for the device.
              This will not delete your music, but may have many other
              detrimental effects.  Don't turn the device off or unplug it
              while the firmware is updating, and don't attempt to upload new
              firmware with a low battery.

       help   Print help message.  Same as "-h | --help".

       version
              Display the version number of ifp.
