nncp-call

% nncp-call [options] [-rx|-tx] NODE[:ADDR] [FORCEADDR]

Call (connect to) specified NODE and run synchronization protocol with the daemon on the remote side. Normally this command could be run any time you wish to either check for incoming packets, or to send out queued ones. Synchronization protocol allows resuming and bidirectional packets transfer.

If -rx option is specified then only inbound packets transmission is performed. If -tx option is specified, then only outbound transmission is performed.

Each NODE can contain several uniquely identified ADDResses in configuration file. If you do not specify the exact one, then all will be tried until the first success. Optionally you can force FORCEADDR address usage, instead of addresses taken from configuration file.

Pay attention that this command run integrity check for each completely received packet in the background. This can be time consuming and connection could be lost during that check time and remote node won’t be notified that file is done. But after successful integrity check that file will be renamed from .part one and when you rerun nncp-call again, remote node will receive completion at once.
