tentacle_client <options> Tentacle is a client/server file transfer protocol that aims to be:
       -   Executable programs or shell commands
       -   System calls (functions provided by the kernel)
       -   Library calls (functions within program libraries)

       Tentacle  was  created to replace more complex tools like SCP and FTP for simple file transfer/retrieval,
       and switch from authentication  mechanisms  like  .netrc,  interactive  logins  and  SSH  keys  to  X.509
       certificates. Simple password authentication over a SSL secured connection is supported too.

       The  client  and  server  (TCP  port 41121) are designed to be run from the command line or called from a
       shell script, and no configuration files are needed.

       Tentacle is now the default file transfer method for Pandora FMS and Babel Enterprise.

       Tentacle is implemented in Perl and ANSI C (Windows platforms included).
