User Manual rvsX
3.2.2 Running rvs® low-privileged
Using this mode, abuse of privileges is not possible. The disadvantage is that each
rvs® user explicitely has to grant reading access to files to be transmitted and jobs
to be executed out of a resident receive entry. If the group permission level is not
applicable, there is only the world level left, which then allows access by
everyone.
3.3
Defining the TCP/IP Connection
rvsX supports OFTP communication via TCP/IP. OFTP TCP/IP can be used for
highspeed LAN connections as well as for internet connections.
The protocol OFTP TCP/IP is described in the internet documentation "RFC
2204". The recommended TCP/IP port is 3305.
3.3.1 rvsX Configuration for TCP/IP
Configure your rvsX:
Customize your station table (edit the file $RVSPATH/init/rdstat.dat) and
your
monitor
initialisation
file
($RVSPATH/init/rdmini.dat):
See
"Representation means" for the detailed description of $RVSPATH.
Edit file rdstat.dat: Edit your own local station entry (in the default file, this is
the station LOC). The TC line defines the TCP/IP receiver task. By default, leave
the parameter INADDR empty. If you want to force rvsX to bind the TCP/IP listen
socket on another IP address, you can set INADDR to this IP address. By default,
rvsX listens on port 3305 (rvsX is able to handle multiple TCP/IP connections over
the same port).
Then define a partner STATION with a TC line and an IP address. Set INADDR to
the IP address of your partner. Set PORT to the OFTP-TCP/IP port number of
your partner (default: 3305).
