Workflow
NNCP consists of several utilities. As a rule you will have the
following workflow:
- Run nncp-newcfg on each node to create an initial
configuration file.
- Tune it up and set at least spool and log paths.
- Share your public keys and reachability addressees with your
neighbours. Add their keys to your configuration file and do any other
required configuration about their reachability, permissions of file or
freq transmission.
- Use nncp-file, nncp-freq, nncp-mail
(look how Postfix SMTP server could be configured)
commands to queue file, freq and mail transmissions. Repeat as
many times any time as you wish.
- Depending on connection methods, either:
- run nncp-daemon to accept remotely initiated connections
to your node
- run either nncp-call or nncp-caller to initiate
connection to required nodes from time to time
- use nncp-xfer with removable storage devices for copying
packets to/from other nodes
- After successful packet exchanging (or just simply from time to
time), run nncp-toss for tossing (decrypting and processing) all
inbound queues to receive mail messages, files, file requests and relay
transition packets to other nodes.
