| Sendfile is a SAFT implementation for UNIX and serves as a tool for asynchronous transfer of files through the Internet which conserves file attributes. The sendfile client transfers files to the sendfile daemon of the recipient's host. The sendfiled takes the files, stores them in a local spool area, and informes the recipient that files have been spooled. The recipient can then invoke the receive client which will copy the files into the local directory, deleting the file from the spool area. |
