PROGRAM:
NAME
tentacle_client - a client file transfer protocol
SYNOPSIS
tentacle_client <options> Tentacle is a client/server file transfer protocol that aims to
be:
- Executable programs or shell commands
- System calls (functions provided by the kernel)
- Library calls (functions within program libraries)
Tentacle was created to replace more complex tools like SCP and FTP for simple file
transfer/retrieval, and switch from authentication mechanisms like .netrc, interactive
logins and SSH keys to X.509 certificates. Simple password authentication over a SSL
secured connection is supported too.
The client and server (TCP port 41121) are designed to be run from the command line or
called from a shell script, and no configuration files are needed.
Tentacle is now the default file transfer method for Pandora FMS and Babel Enterprise.
Tentacle is implemented in Perl and ANSI C (Windows platforms included).
You can download it and get more information at the official Sourceforge website
http://tentacled.sourceforge.net/.
