[CMake] FTP client in CMake?
I don't think I've seen a way to use CMake to download files from an FTP server. For certain third party libraries, I'd like to store them on an FTP server and use CMAKE_COMMAND to invoke CMake.exe from within a cmake script to download the files from that FTP server. Is it possible to add this functionality? Could anyone recommend a workaround? - Robert Dailey -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

Re: [CMake] FTP client in CMake?
file(DOWNLOAD ...) works with "ftp:" urls.
For example, the following script works for me (with CMake 2.8.6):
get_filename_component(dir "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE}" PATH)
file(DOWNLOAD
"ftp://ftp.cs.brown.edu/pub/benchmark.ps.Z";
"${dir}/benchmark.ps.Z"
)
I found a small file on the first server mentioned by google when searching
for "public anonymous ftp server"
HTH,
David

You could use wget or curl to download files. Best Regards NoRulez Am 30.12.2011 um 00:01 schrieb Robert Dailey : > I don't think I've seen a way to use CMake to download files from an FTP > server.

Re: [CMake] FTP client in CMake?
Thanks David. Apparently I was looking in the wrong place, I assumed it
would be a cmake option :)
Happy New Year!!
