NAME

        Environment variables used by FSP Clients programs
 

SYNOPSIS

        setenv VARIABLE value | export VARIABLE=value
 

ENVIRONMENT

        The following variables are used for access FSP servers:
 
        FSP_HOST
               The  name or internet number of the machine with the FSP server.
               Required.
 
        FSP_PORT
               The port number of the  UDP  socket  used  by  the  FSP  server.
               Required.
 
        FSP_LOCALIP
               Local  Address  of UDP socket used by FSP client utilities. This
               IP address must be one of your local IP addresses. If not  used,
               TCP  protocol  stack  sets  the default. This variable is mainly
               used for multi-homed hosts.
 
        FSP_LOCALPORT
               The port number of the UDP socket used by FSP client  utilities.
               The  only  reason  to  define  this variable is to ensure mutual
               exclusion of client commands when none of the udp packet  multi‐
               plexing  mechanisms  are  enabled  during compile time.  You may
               pick any number not currently used for other purposes.
 
        FSP_PASSWORD
               Access password for FSP server. Directories on FSP server can be
               password  protected.  FSP server can change your access level if
               you have provided a correct password. There are 2 access levels:
               public and owner.
 
        FSP_BUF_SIZE
               Prefered  size  of  server  reply. Default is 1024 which is also
               maximum allowed value by all servers. Some  servers  can  accept
               larger packets and you will get some extra speed with them.  You
               can lower that value if you want to  get  smaller  packets  from
               server.
 
        FSP_DIR
               The  current  working directory of the client in the FSP server.
               The server’s root is /.
 
        FSP_TRACE
               If this variable is set to any value, program will  display  the
               number  of  kilo-byte blocks transferred as transfer progresses.
               Also shown will be a measure of characters per  second  so  that
               network  speed  has  an  indicator.  This variable has no effect
               when the standard output is a terminal.
 
        FSP_TIMEOUT
               If this variable is set, it contains the timeout value  in  sec‐
               onds.   The  default  value  is 360.  No function if program was
               compiled without timeout code.
 
        FSP_DELAY
               Minimum wait time before resending packet in milliseconds.  This
               should be set close to expected round trip time.
 
        FSP_MAXDELAY
               Maximum wait time before resending packet in milliseconds.
 
        FSP_LOCAL_DIR
               Where to look for local files. Default is current directory.
