Fetchfile requires PGP, but this requirement is not mentioned in the FBSD PORTS entry. Unfortunately, this requirement is not well documented in the normal README file either, but it is in the README.fetchfile file. [from README.fetchfile] [...] What to do on the client side? You must have pgp installed and the binaries must be available through your $PATH environment variable. [...] PGP is not required for the SENDFILE command, though it is a SENDFILE command option. I realize that it is possible to just use SENDFILE without PGP and never use FETCHFILE which DOES require PGP. Even if PGP is not listed as a PORTS requirement, it would be nice to somewhere indicate that PGP MAY be required or is required for the FETCHFILE command. I kept wondering what in the world the FETCHFILE command was asking me for, when it said that IT would create the necessary pgp files!! - -- - - - - -- - - - - - --- - - - - -- - - -- - - - dutton3/jimd: fetchfile -I .tcshrc jimd@remote.host This is the init routine for fetchfile.
