wput file
Hi I'm trying to put a file to an ftp site: wput -v file.txt ftp://USER:passw...@foo.com/public_html/pub/ file.txt is just a normal plain text file. But it says: parse-error in escaped character: is not a hexadecimal character and it doesn't uploads the file :S what am I missing? Thank you for any answer My aim is to put a file to an ftp server [it would be better, if i could do it in real time, or like in every 10-30 seconds]

If you have a percent sign in PASSWORD then it will be interpreted as an escape character that is to be followed by a two-digit hexadecimal number that encodes one character (i.e. the next two characters have to be members of the set [0-9a-fA-F]): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding Try to encode all special characters in PASSWORD according to RFC 3986. For example, if PASSWORD is :secret%text@ then the encoded version is %3Asecret%25text%40. If you have the liburi-perl package installed then you can use perl to do the conversion of all special characters (see man URI::Escape): $ perl -e 'use URI::Escape; $encoded = uri_escape(:secret%text@); print $encoded\n;' %3Asecret%25text%40 -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
