so it seems :-)

>From the man page
reget remote-file [local-file]
Reget acts like  get,  except  that  if  local-file  exists and
is smaller than remote-file, local-file
is presumed to be a partially transferred  copy  of
remote-file  and the transfer is continued from the
apparent point of failure.  This command is  useful
when  transferring  very  large files over networks
that are prone to dropping connections.

I don't know how to see the status of a transfer but the
option hash might help


Good luck,

I am using:

ftp-client-krb5-1.2.2-11mdk

which is the standard one that was installed with
mandrake.

You are not saying which client you are using, personally I prefer ncftp
for the command line and occasionally gftp for Gnome. Ncftp has well
written man pages and help files.

hope this helps,

[newbie] ftp resume

2002-02-11 Thread shanon loveridge 

I was wondering how I can resume a download using ftp?
Also how do you display the download status?

It does this automatically in FreeBSD so I was
surprised that it didn't do it in linux.
