KAMIFTP(1)

💅 KAMIFTP(1) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for kamiftp — yes, the 9p client. It’s giving command-line main character energy, and we’re gonna read every single detail together. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

kamiftp — 9p client. periodt. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kamiftp [-c] [-C cert] [-K key] host [path]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

kamiftp is a 9p(7) client. That’s the whole plot, and honestly? Iconic. ✨

The options are as follows:

• -c — use TLS for the connection. If you use this, -C is mandatory — no cap.
• -C certificate — specify the path to the client certificate to be used during the TLS handshake. Implies -c.
• -K key — specify the path to the client certificate key to be used during the TLS handshake. If it’s not given, the file passed to -C will be used. Implies -c.

The following commands are recognized by kamiftp — memorize the group chat, bestie:

• bell [on | off] — request the terminal to sound a bell after each command. With no arguments, toggle the current state.
• bye — terminate the session. Synonym of quit.
• cd remote-path — change the working directory on the remote machine to remote-path.
• edit remote-path — download remote-path and open it with the preferred editor (VISUAL or EDITOR with ed(1) as fallback), then attempt to re-upload it.
• get remote-file [local-file] — fetch remote-file and save it locally as local-file. If local-file is not given, use the file name from remote-file.
• hexdump [on | off] — print the packets sent from/to the server. With no arguments, toggle the current state.
• lcd [local-directory] — change the local current working directory to local-directory or HOME if not given.
• lpwd — print the local working directory.
• ls — list the file in the remote current working directory.
• page remote-file — download remote-file and open it with the PAGER (less(1) by default).
• pipe remote-file cmd [args...] — fetch remote-file and pass it as standard input for cmd (with optional args).
• put local-file [remote-file] — upload local-file to remote-file. If remote-file is not given, use the file name from local-file.
• quit — terminate the session. Synonym of bye.
• rename remote-file new-remote-name — renames remote-file to new-remote-name on the remote server.
• verbose [on | off] — print verbose information. With no arguments, toggle the current state.

🎀 ENVIRONMENT 🎀

The following environment variables are inspected, bestie:

• HOME — the user login directory.
• PAGER — the pager to use; less(1) by default.
• VISUAL, EDITOR — the program used to edit files. VISUAL is inspected first, EDITOR as a fallback. If both are undefined, ed(1) is given some love. 💜

• 9p(7)
• kamid(8)
