(This starts the buffer and can be specified in a start-up script or as an event or utask)
When an event occurs, as specified for utask (see below) the following command
sequence is used to handle the buffer:
3.4.2 sftpclient
This client is used for FTP connections. If you have an FTP server, you can use this client to
send/receive files to/from a specified server. A passive mode is also available for the client. A
typical example is to upload snapshots to a specified FTP server when an event is detected.
Usage: sftpclient [options]
Option Description
-p <host>
Put local file to host remote dir [remote file].
-i <host>
Interactive to/from host [remote dir].
-m <host>
Put all files in local dir to host remote dir.
-n <port nbr>
Specify remote port number, default is 21.
-t <file>
Use temporary file name during upload.
-c <remote
dir>
Remote directory to start in.
-d <remote

Example
Upload all the files in /tmp to the directory /upload on the FTP Server 10.13.9.40 using the

{ handle images}
bufferd -reset ALARM
bufferd -start -buffername ALARM -uri ftp://axis-cgi/jpg/1/176x144.jpg

The handling of the images can, for example, be done with the PHP3-function ftp(), shown
below (see also /usr/php/template_upload_cont.php3 on the device).
sftpclient -L -m 10.13.9.40 -n 21 -c /upload -k /tmp -u user -w pass
