The FTP protocol itself is really simple, and you could probably hack something together by looking at the relevant RFC(s) (URLs, anyone?). In addition to the traditional Berkeley ftp client, things which are probably *not* smaller or simpler but also do ftp, which you might also want to look at the source of, include: ncftp, Netscape (Mozilla), and lynx. However, I would suggest that you look at ssh/scp instead; scp already does what you want (scriptable transfer of files), plus it has the added benefit of being way more secure than ftp, which might or might not matter to you right now but will probably be useful in the future at least. --ben | Anybody any ideas on the simplest ftp client, one that can be told to fetch a | single file from a specific location, and returns 0 or 1 depending on wether | things were OK? | | I would perhaps have a bash at this myself, but the actual ftp client from | Berekely is quite a large program, perhaps somebody knows were I may find the | source of a really minimalistic implementation to hack? | | ======================================================================== | Contributions/Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | To Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "unsubscribe" in message body | Report Problems to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | List archive at: http://www.ssc.com/mailing-lists/ -- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the command "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the message body.
