ffsend: Download a file protected by password.
$ ffsend download ${filename} -p ${password}
try on your machine

This command is likely used in a command-line interface (CLI) to initiate a file download using the "ffsend" tool. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "ffsend": Refers to the executable file or command name used to interact with the ffsend tool.
  • "download": Specifies the action to be performed, which is to download a file.
  • "${filename}": Represents a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name or path of the file you want to download. This is a variable that needs to be filled with the appropriate value.
  • "-p ${password}": Specifies an optional parameter to protect the downloaded file with a password. "${password}" is another parameter that should be replaced with the desired password value. If you don't want to set a password, you can omit this part.

In an actual usage example, you might replace "${filename}" with the name of the file, like "report.docx", and "${password}" with an actual password (if desired), like "mysecurepassword". The command could then look like:

ffsend download report.docx -p mysecurepassword

This would instruct the "ffsend" tool to download the file named "report.docx" and protect it with the password "mysecurepassword" during the download process.
