nntpx.zip (100 KB)
Note 1: This HTML file and the Delphi5 sourcecode is also included in the .zip-file.
Note 2: To compile the sourcecode, the "Indy" components (http://www.nevrona.com/indy/) are required.
-s server[:port] -s 127.0.0.1:119 -s news.provid.er
Select newsserver and port to connect to (default: 127.0.0.1:119).
-u user:password -u username:secret
Select username and password for AUTHINFO USER/PASS (default: none).
-g newsgroup -g misc.test
Select newsgroup from which articles are loaded (-a). It is also selected when sending commands (-c).
-a number -a 123
Load article with the given number from the group selected by "-g". Output is converted to mbox-format.
-a [low]-[high][:[-]limit] -a 100-200 -a 100- -a -200 -a - -a -:-10
Load articles numbered from "low" to "high" from the group selected by
"-g". If "low" or "high" is missing, it is replaced by available
article numbers reported by the newsserver.
If a "limit" is given, the number of loaded articles is limited to this value
(>0:newest, <0:oldest, =0/omitted:no limit).
Output of all loaded articles is converted to mbox-format.
-p filename -p test.msg -p "test 2.msg"
Post single (!) article contained in the given file. It has to be exactly in the format ready to
be posted (i.e. no mbox-format here, required header lines have to be present etc.).
Some basic checks are made before sending to prevent from posting b*llsh*t: no mbox-format, presence
of header/body separator and Newsgroups:, Subject: and From: header.
-c command+parameters -c list -c "list newsgroups" -c "article <example@news.serv.er>"
NNTP-command and parameters to send (default: none).
-m (+|-) -m + -m -
Expected -c respone, +=multiline/-=singleline, default: autodetect.
Load the list of newsgroups descriptions ("LIST NEWSGROUPS") and save it in file "descriptions.txt":
nntpx -s news.provid.er -u myname:mypass -c "list newsgroups" > descriptions.txt
Load article with Message-ID "<example@news.serv.er>":
nntpx -s news.provid.er -u myname:mypass -c "article <example@news.serv.er>"
Load all articles of newsgroup "de.newusers.infos" and save them in file "dni.txt":
nntpx -s news.provid.er -u myname:mypass -g de.newusers.infos -a - > dni.txt
