NAME

       bnftp - Battle.net file transfer client

SYNOPSIS

       bnftp [options] [servername [serverport]]

DESCRIPTION

       bnftp  is  a simple program for downloading data files from a bnetd server.  These files include tos.txt,
       upgrade MPQ archives, and ad banners.

       If no servername is specified, localhost is assumed.  If no serverport is specified, 6112 is assumed.

       After the program is started it will connect to the server and then prompt for the filename to  download.
       No  directory components may be used in the filename.  The file is copied to a file with the same name in
       the current directory.

BUGS

       This  program  assumes that the terminal will move to the beginning of the current line when the carriage
       return character (^M) is printed.  It also assumes the backspace character (^H) will move one  column  to
       the left that character printed after that will replace those already on the screen.

       The terminal settings are not consulted for keybindings.  The following are assumed:

       ^H     delete the character to the left of the cursor

       ^J     accept current line

       ^M (return)
              accept current line

       ^T     transpose the last two characters

       ^W     delete word to the left of the cursor

       ^U     delete the whole input line

       ^[ (escape)
              cancel the current input line

       ^? (delete)
              delete the character to the left of the cursor
