+.SH NAME
+FileTransfer plugin for abrt(8)
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.P
+.I abrt
+is a daemon which watches for application crashes. When a crash occurs,
+it collects the crash data and does some actions according to 
+the configuration. This manual page describes the \fIFileTransfer\fP plugin 
+for \fIabrt\fP.
+.P
+This plugin is used to transfer the crash report to another
+machine via some file transfer protocol. Supported protocols
+are FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP and TFTP. 
+.SH INVOCATION
+.P
+The plugin is invoked in the \fIabrt.conf\fP file, usually in the
+\fIActionsAndReporters\fP option and/or the \fI[cron]\fP section.
+There are two modes of invocation: either you use the parameter
+\fI"store"\fP: in this case, the plugin stores the information,
+that the crash occurs, in its internal list.
+.P
+If you use some other parameter, or no parameter at all, the
+plugin will iterate through the internal list and will send
+every recorded crash to the server specified in the \fIFileTransfer.conf\fP
+configuration file. After that, the internal list is cleared.
+.P
+The rationale of this behavior is this: on a production
+machine, you probably don't want the crash data to be
+sent in the time the machine is busy working, you want
+to send everything in some more quiet time (at night, perhaps)
+and schedule this in the \fI[cron]\fP section of \fIabrt.conf\fP.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The \fIFileTransfer.conf\fP configuration file contains the following:
+.SS URL
+The URL of the server, where the crash should
+be transfered, specifying the protocol, the path,
+the user name and the password, for example
+.br
+URL = ftp://user:passwd@server.com/path
+.SS ArchiveType
+The type of the archive, where the crash data will be packed. 
+Currently supporting \fI.tar.gz\fP, \fI.tar.bz2\fP and \fI.zip\fP
+The plugin currently relies on external file archiving
+commandline utilities, which will create the archive.
+The default is
+.br
+ArchiveType = .tar.gz
+.SS RetryCount
+This specifies, how many times will the plugin try to resend
+the file in the case the transfer was not succesful. The plugin
+waits a while before it retries the transfer: see \fIRetryDelay\fP
+The default is
+.br
+RetryCount = 3
+.SS RetryDelay
+In the case the transfer was not succesful, the plugin will
+wait some time before sending the file again. This configuration
+option specifies the time in seconds. The default is
+.br
+RetryDelay = 20
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Typical configuration in \fIabrt.conf\fP. The crash is stored
+each time it happens and on midnight, all the crash data
+is transferred to a central server.
+.br
+[common]
+.br
+ActionsAndReporters = FileTransfer("store")
