sfk ftp host[:port] [options] [command [parms]

   The SFK Simple Anonymous FTP Client.

   commands
      put x     send a single file with name x
      get x     receive a single file with name x
      mput x    send multiple files of the current directory
                having x in their filename
      mget x    receive multiple files from the ftp server
                having x in their filename
      dir       list the remote directory
      cd x      change into remote directory x
      !mycmd    execute local command mycmd
      run cmd   run remote command (only with sfk ftp server)
      bye       exit

   options
      -verbose  list the transmitted ftp commands.
                helpful to get more infos in case of errors.
      -quiet    produce less verbose output.
      -noprog   no progress indicator during transfers.
      -update   transmit only changed files. this option is experimental
                and may or may not work, depending on the server software,
                server settings (UTC vs. local time) and time zone.
      -new      the same as -update, only shorter to type.
      -pw=x     or -pw x sends an authentication password x.
                you may also set an environment variable like:
                   SET SFK_FTP_PW=mypassword
     -noclone   do not try to replicate time stamps on a file
                transmission from an sfk ftp server.

   aliases
      sfk sft ...   = the same as sfk ftp, but using port 2121.

   automatic IP expansion
      if you are in the same subnet as the target host,
      you may supply only the IP number's last part, e.g.:
         sfk ftp 23 ... == sfk ftp 192.168.1.23 ...
      this feature may or may not work, depending on your
      operating system and number of network interfaces.

   examples
      sfk ftp farpc put test.zip
         send test.zip to farpc
      sfk ftp 192.168.1.99:30199 get test.zip
         receive test.zip from 192.168.1.99 port 30199
      sfk ftp farpc mput .cpp
         send all .cpp files of the local dir to farpc.
         subfolder contents are NOT included.
      sfk ftp farpc mget *
         receive all files from farpc's directory,
         overwriting everything in the local directory.
      sfk ftp hostname
         enter interactive mode, in which you can type
         the above commands directly. for example,
            !dir runs the command "dir" locally.

   IF connected with an sfk ftp server:

      sfk ftp farpc get the\sub\dir\doc.txt
         if sfk ftpserv is running with the "-deep" option,
         direct access to files with full paths is allowed.
         all required directories are created automatically.
         the deep mode cannot be used with mget, mput and dir.

      sfk sel mydir .txt +ftp farpc mput -update
         send all .txt files within mydir that changed since
         the last transmission to farpc. requires option -deep
         at server side to allow paths.

      sfk sel mydir .txt +sft farpc mput -update
         same as above, but using port 2121 against an sfk
         server started like "sfk sftserv -rw -deep".
         recommended to avoid connection problems
         that may occur on ftp default port 21.

      sfk filter filelist.txt +ftp farpc mget mydir
         create a list with filenames, download the files listed
         therein from server farpc into a folder "mydir".
         may require option -deep at server side to allow paths.

      sfk ftp farpc -pw mypw run "sh myscript.sh >tmp1.txt 2>&1"
         execute a command on the remote server, redirecting all
         output into a file tmp1.txt. requires an sfk ftp server
         with option -run, AND -pw authentication on both sides.

   problems and solutions:
   - Windows Vista, Windows 7: if the firewall stops sfk to sfk
     file transfer on port 21 with ECONNRESET, use a different
     port, e.g. -port=5000. read more in the sfk ftpserv help.

   see also:
      sfk ftpserv -help

NOTE: existing files are overwritten without asking back.
      Make sure that ftp server and client are running
      in the correct directories, especially before mput/mget.
