Hi ppl, Could someone explain me how should I use uucp to download multiple files at once. This command doesn't work for me: uucp crdlx2\!/var/spool/uucppublic/\*tmp gaguk\!~
...while these four commands do their job just fine. uucp crdlx2\!/var/spool/uucppublic/123tmp gaguk\!~ uucp crdlx2\!/var/spool/uucppublic/124tmp gaguk\!~ uucp crdlx2\!/var/spool/uucppublic/125tmp gaguk\!~ uucp crdlx2\!/var/spool/uucppublic/126tmp gaguk\!~ Here is what I have found in uucp's info: " The shell metacharacters `?' `*' `[' and `]' are interpreted on the appropriate system, assuming they are quoted to prevent the shell from interpreting them first." Do I use wrong quotation symbol before '*'? Probably it would be possible to figure out what is going wrong from debug info. There are some strings where "Bad header" is mentioned. What does it mean? Thanks in advance for any help, Eugene. -------------------------------------------------- Login successful DEBUG: fsend_uucp_cmd: Sending "Sgaguk -R -N07" DEBUG: zget_uucp_cmd: Got "\020ROKN07\000" DEBUG: zget_uucp_cmd: Got "\020PgvG\000" DEBUG: fsend_uucp_cmd: Sending "Ug" DEBUG: fgsend_control: Sending control INITA 7 DEBUG: fgprocess_data: Got control INITA 7 DEBUG: fgsend_control: Sending control INITB 1 DEBUG: fgprocess_data: Got control INITB 1 DEBUG: fgsend_control: Sending control INITC 7 DEBUG: fgprocess_data: Got control INITC 7 Handshake successful (protocol 'g' sending packet/window 64/7 receiving 64/7) 64/7) 2558) Requesting work: /var/spool/uucppublic/*tmp to gaguk!/var/spool/uucppublic 2558) DEBUG: fgsendcmd: Sending command "X /var/spool/uucppublic/*tmp gaguk!/var/spool/uucppublic sevinian -d" DEBUG: floop: Waiting for data 2558) DEBUG: fgot_data: Charging 217031 to X /var/spool/uucppublic/*tmp gaguk!/var/spool/uucppublic DEBUG: floop: No work for master DEBUG: fgsendcmd: Sending command "H" DEBUG: floop: Waiting for data 2558) DEBUG: fgot_data: Charging 217031 to X /var/spool/uucppublic/*tmp gaguk!/var/spool/uucppublic DEBUG: floop: No work for master DEBUG: fgsendcmd: Sending command "H" DEBUG: floop: Waiting for data DEBUG: ftadd_cmd: Got command "HN" DEBUG: fgprocess_data: Bad header: K 2 TT 0 XOR byte 105 calc 17 DEBUG: fgsend_control: Sending control RJ 3 DEBUG: fgprocess_data: Bad header: K 2 TT 0 XOR byte 105 calc 17 DEBUG: fgprocess_data: Bad header: K 2 TT 0 XOR byte 105 calc 17 DEBUG: fgprocess_data: Bad header: K 2 TT 0 XOR byte 105 calc 17 DEBUG: fgprocess_data: Bad header: K 2 TT 0 XOR byte 105 calc 17 DEBUG: fgprocess_data: Bad header: K 2 TT 0 XOR byte 105 calc 17 DEBUG: fgprocess_data: Bad header: K 2 TT 0 XOR byte 105 calc 17 DEBUG: fgprocess_data: Bad header: K 2 TT 0 XOR byte 105 calc 17 DEBUG: fgprocess_data: Got control CLOSE 0 ERROR: Received unexpected CLOSE packet DEBUG: fgsend_control: Sending control CLOSE 0 DEBUG: fgsend_control: Sending control CLOSE 0 DEBUG: fgsend_control: Sending control CLOSE 0 Protocol 'g' packets: sent 3, resent 0, received 3 Errors: header 8, checksum 0, order 0, remote rejects 0 DEBUG: fsend_uucp_cmd: Sending "OOOOOO" DEBUG: fsend_uucp_cmd: Sending "OOOOOO" DEBUG: zget_uucp_cmd: Got "\020\011\"*\010\011\020OOOOOOO\000" Call complete (71 seconds 0 bytes 0 bps) DEBUG: fcsend: Writing sleep sleep "+++" sleep sleep "ATM0H\r" DEBUG: Call failed: 5 (Call failed) Eugene Sevinian ---------------------------- CRD, YerPhI, 375036, Armenia URL: http://crdlx5.yerphi.am/ Phone: 374-2-344873
