Reid,
since he noted the distro is '3 years old', odds are the portage tree is
out of date.
you can try a
sudo emerge --sync
and then
sudo emerge --ask lftp
note that if a sync has not been done in a long time, many packages may be
out of date ( possibly why the 'get' of left failed ). if lftp has
dependencies, they will most likely have to be rebuilt, and if the
dependencies have dependencies, etc, etc, etc -- so the results of the
above emerge could be very large and have a lot of impact.
Will existing PostgreSql 8.1.4 server continue working after running those
commands ?
Or is there possibility that it stops working ?
Will those commands require re-booting server ?
If ssh/scp are already on the box it might be easier to setup a
passwordless login configuration and use either scp or sftp to push the
backup file.
backup ftp server is located in ISP.
It offers ftp and http access only.
So I cannot use scp nor sftp probably.
Andrus.
