term clients term provides several default clients. They include trsh, tmon, tupload, tredir
and txconn. This section will deal with the first three.
The others each have their own section. No term client
will work until you have established a term link.
tmon is a simple utility to monitor the statistics of your
link. It prints a time histogram of characters transmitted and
received. It is invoked simply as tmon. Since around
version 1.11, tmon has had a bug that causes some
information to be garbled. Send me mail if you'd like a patch to fix
this.
trsh is similar to rsh. Without arguments, it spawns
an interactive shell on the remote system (i.e. it logs you
in). trsh is one of the primary means of accessing the
remote end of the link via term. If given an argument,
trsh executes that argument as a command on the remote
system. For example trsh ls would give you a listing of the
files in your home directory on the remote system.
tupload is the term 's basic file transfer
program. It will transfer a file, given as it's first argument, to the
opposite end of the link. By default, the files will be put in the
same directory that you invoked term from on the other
side. To put files in another directory, give it's name as a second
argument to tupload. For example, if I want to put a copy
of the file term114.tar.gz in /usr/tmp on the
remote system, I would type tupload term114.tar.gz /usr/tmp. There is no client to do a download - to download files, trsh to the remote system and do a tupload.
term Clients
There are now a number of programs that have been modified to work
with term, they include telnet, ftp. Mosaic and many others. They can be found on sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/apps/comm/termstuff.
