Bookmark keywords

machine

Specify the hostname to connect to or a domainname. The hostname can be a valid FTP URL, including username, password, etc. In that case there is no need to specify the corresponding keywords. Using the URL syntax is the only way to specify a non-standard port.

Domainnames should begin with a period, as in .kth.se. This will match any hostname on that domain, except for hostnames explicitly mentioned with another machine keyword. You can not specify an alias name for a domain entry.

alias

Specifies another (verbose) name for the bookmark, like ruby instead of ftp.netlab.co.jp. This is the name that will be shown in the tab completion list. Valid only after a machine statement.

local

If an entry begins with local, it specifies how to login to all ocal machines. Local machines are unqualified hostnames (ie, hostnames without a period.)

This can be overridden with an entry for a specific machine.

default

The default entry is used when no other machine or local keyword matched. It can be used to login anonymously to all unknown sites.

login

Specify the username.

anonymous

Try an anonymous login, uses anon_password.

password

Specify the password, if required.

account

Specify account name. Not fully supported, anyone using it?

cwd

This keyword specifies a startup directory on the remote server. Yafc changes the current directory when logged in.

prot

The prot keyword sets the Kerberos data protection level. Valid protection levels are safe, clear and private.

This is a no-op if not compiled with Kerberos.

mech

List the preferred security mechanisms to use. This is the same as default_mechanism, except it is only used for this machine.

passive

Boolean option requiring an argument (true/false). If true, use passive mode in data transfers, regardless of the value of use_passive_mode in the configuration file.
