cd to the directory you want before you start ncftp, or within ncftp use the lcd command to change the local directory. AFAIK you can't ncftp to a file, only a directory: once you're logged in you use the get or mget commands (the latter is if you want regular expressions e.g. "mget *.rpm").So what's this "ncftp" NC means ? Now copy ? ]# rpm -qa | grep ncftp ]#
Ha,
ftp://216.254.0.38/linux/Mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/ncftp-3.1.6-0.1.92mdk.i586.rpm
does it again, it's downloading something but where to?
I'm going to stop it, and use d4x though , don't have to search for a dl directory.
So lets find out about it,
name ncftp
summary An improved FTP client
version 3.1.6 -0.1.92mdk
group Networking/File transfer

description Ncftp is an improved FTP client. Ncftp's improvements include support for command line editing, command histories, recursive gets, automatic anonymous logins and more.
It went on easy, not fuss,
Lets see now, what does it do ? Same result though . somehow I think your supposed to do something else with it ?
Sir Robin
so right,
]# cd /mnt/ext2-vol6/downloads2
localhost downloads2]# ncftp ftp://216.254.0.38/linux/Mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/ncftp-3.1.6-0.1.92mdk.i586.rpm
Use ncftpget or ncftpput to handle file URLs.
localhost downloads2]# ncftpget ftp://216.254.0.38/linux/Mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/ncftp-3.1.6-0.1.92mdk.i586.rpm
ncftp-3.1.6-0.1.92mdk.i586.rpm: 446.09 kB 2.72 kB/s
@localhost downloads2]#
Ah, yes. I like it
So what does "ncftpput" do for your then ? is that for sending a file or something ?
ncftp --help NcFTP 3.1.6 (Aug 25, 2003) by Mike Gleason (http://www.NcFTP.com/contact/). ncftp>
Hmm that doesn't tell me much looking for summat ? help Commands may be abbreviated. 'help showall' shows hidden and unsupported commands. 'help <command>' gives a brief description of <command>.
ascii cat help lpage open quit show bgget cd jobs lpwd page quote site bgput chmod lcd lrename passive rename type bgstart close lchmod lrm pdir rhelp umask binary debug lls lrmdir pls rm version bookmark dir lmkdir ls put rmdir bookmarks get lookup mkdir pwd set
For details, please see the manual ("man ncftp" at your regular shell prompt
or online at http://www.NcFTP.com/ncftp/doc/ncftp.html).
ncftp>I asked for that didn't I. man ncftp wow too much to reproduce here.
but maybe,
ncftp>
means it's looking for me to give it another url perhaps ?
ncftp> http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=Scribus&submit=Sea$
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=Scribus&submit=Search+: no
such command.
no it's not.
so I'm, inside ncftp> lets give t a question,
ncftp> lookup
Usage: lookup [-v|-V] <host or IP number> [<more hosts or IP numbers>]
ncftp>
yes that's what it's about ?
ncftp> ascii
ascii: must be connected to do that. Oh !
so I was on the CL, so why wouldn't it dl the url I gave it ?
because the url is broken maybe ?
I donn't know.
