There is an extension to the nntp Protocol called XBatch. XBatch lets you tunnel binary data through a nntp connection. The batches will be put in a separate directory on the receiving host, where they can then be fed into rnews. Before trying xbatch make sure, that you can get news via nntp!!! Inn 1.5 has xbatch built in, so you can just read the innxbatch(8) manual page. You can check that a server accepts xbatch (from a host which is in your hosts.nntp): 132 % telnet your.news.host.pilhuhn.de nntp xbatch 3 <-- you type 339 result code abc <-- you type 239 successfully accepted------------------------------ [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/07/01 01:25:41 $ $Revision: 2.21 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.] |
