I personally never use nor enable FTP anymore these days given the massive number of script kiddies and serious hackers out there. Regular FTP is just too insecure ( I don't know about more recent ''secure'' FTP ). Just use ssh and if it's not available on the other end beg/tell/require them to enable it I get easily over 1000 attempts per day from hackers trying to break into my poor little colo'd server... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Perhaps it can be > configured to work over FTP, I've never tried (no reason to). >From rsync(1): There are two different ways for rsync to contact a remote system: using a remote-shell program as the transport (such as ssh or rsh) or contacting an rsync daemon directly via TCP. The remote-shell trans- port is used whenever the source or destination path contains a single colon (:) separator after a host specification. Contacting an rsync daemon directly happens when the source or destination path contains a double colon (::) separator after a host specification, OR when an rsync:// URL is specified (see also the "USING RSYNC-DAEMON FEATURES VIA A REMOTE-SHELL CONNECTION" section for an exception to this latter rule). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Yes, it does, but not better than wput, so I'll stick with wput for a while.

Is there anything better than wput for this task? If your server supports it, of course rsync seems much better than FTP for this task. Have you seen this article on automating command line ftp? http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/excerpt/BSDHacks_chap1/index1.html It recommends ncftp client, but I don't know if it does what you want or not. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) , (608) 266-6348 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
