The server can support override options for the servername, protocol, and machinename. As the server does not use a configuration file the override parameters are supplied using the mfcsmgr program. This generates a short exchange between the client and the server which processes the selected function.
The command line syntax for mfcsmgr is:
Windows:
run mfcsmgr [-a] [-c nnnnn] [-d] [-i filename] [- m machine-name] [-p protocol] [-s server-name] [-o m, machine-name] [-o p, protocol] [-o r] [-o s, server-name] [-t] [-v]
UNIX:
cobrun mfcsmgr [-a] [-c nnnnn] [-d] [-i filename]
[- m machine-name] [-p protocol]
[-s server-name] [-o m, machine-name]
[-o p, protocol] [-o r] [-o s, server-name]
[-t] [-v]
where:
-a | Changes the authorisation password associated with the target server. |
-c,nnnnn | Sets the number of clients the server can support. |
-d | Deletes the local overide file (mfcsovrd.cfg) when the client exits. |
-i filename | Installs the specified file in the client's local directory when the client exits. |
-m machine-name | Specifies the name of the machine on which the target server is running. This is required if the same server-name is used on more than one platform. |
-p protocol | Specifies the communications protocol being used: TCP/IP (CCITC32), NetBEUI (CCINB32), Novell IPX (CCIIX32) or Dynamic Data Exchange (CCIDE32). |
-s server-name | Indicates a server-name other than the default (mfclisrv). |
-o m,machine-name | Specifies the machine-name on which the overriding is running. |
-o p,protocol | Uses this protocol to access the overriding server. |
-o r | Resets active override. Reverts to original settings. |
-o s,server-name | Overrides connections to the target server by directing them to this server. |
-t | Terminates the server |
-v | Displays the mfclient version number. |
All the above flags can be specified with a - or /, and are not case-sensitive.
