  vfmu(1)                             CLIX                             vfmu(1)



  NAME

    vfmu, xvfmu - Runs visual interfaces to XNS-based file transfer utilities

  SYNOPSIS

    vfmu [-C] [-R|-S] [-aci] [-n nodename] [-u username] [-p password] [-s
    source] [-d destination]

    xvfmu [-C] [-R|-S] [-aci] [-n nodename] [-u username] [-p password] [-s
    source] [-d destination]

  FLAGS

    -C               Starts the interface as a collapsed icon on the screen.
                     (To see the interface, click on the icon.)

    -R               Sets the action to receive.

    -S               Sets the action to send.

    -a               Inhibits automatic compression when transferring files.
                     By default, if vfmu detects a slow transfer rate, it will
                     automatically compress the data before it is sent.

    -c               Turns on software checksumming when transferring files.

    -i               Designates files being transferred as Interactive
                     Graphics Design System (IGDS) files.  This flag is only
                     valid if supported by the receiving system.

    -n nodename      Sets the default remote node.  If this flag is not used,
                     no default nodename is displayed on the form.

    -u username      Sets the default username.  If this flag is not used, no
                     default username is displayed on the form.

    -p password      Sets the default password.  The password is never
                     displayed on the form.  If this flag is not used, no
                     default password is set.

    -s source        Sets the default source file.  If this flag is not used,
                     no default source file is displayed on the form.

    -d destination   Sets the default destination file.  If this flag is not
                     used, no default destination file is displayed on the
                     form.

  DESCRIPTION

    The vfmu and xvfmu commands provide visual interfaces to the fmu command,

  vfmu(1)                             CLIX                             vfmu(1)



    a network file transfer utility.  These commands allow the user to enter
    information needed for an XNS file transfer in a simpler manner.

    Help is available within vfmu, and is accessed by clicking on the help
    button with the mouse.

    The vfmu command is available for Environ V-based window systems. Use the
    xvfmu command for X Window-based window systems.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  Enter the vfmu command without any flags to start the interface.

        vfmu


    2.  This example starts the interface with the default action set to send,
        the default remote node set to odie, and the default user account on
        the remote node set to john.

        vfmu -S -n odie -u john


    3.  This example starts the interface with the default action set to
        receive.  The name of the source file (the file to be received) is set
        to /usr/john/my_proj, and the location for that file on the local
        machine is set to /usr/bink/johns_proj.

        vfmu -R -s /usr/john/my_proj -d /usr/bink/johns_proj


    4.  This example starts the interface such that all files sent or received
        are never automatically compressed.

        vfmu -a


  NOTES

    Because of graphics requirements, vfmu is available only on Intergraph
    graphic workstations.

    The FORMS_S product is required to run vfmu.

  DIAGNOSTICS

    If the information needed for a file transfer is not provided, then an
    error message appears in the message box and asks that the missing
    information be specified.

    If the /usr/bin/fmu file cannot be run on the local system, then the error

    message No execute permission for /usr/bin/fmu is displayed in the message
    box.

    Any errors encountered by the fmu command are displayed in the message
    box.

  EXIT VALUES

    The vfmu command exits with a value of 1 if the formsu needed for the
    interface cannot be displayed.

    In all other cases vfmu exits with a value of 0.
