Different UNIX commands support different arguments and there is no commonality between them. In fact there is no equivalent commandset found in UNIX at all. You can download with rsync, wget, ftp, curl or any other command line client. But the resume feature that you are asking is either absent in certain cases or implemented differently. I also use lftp or ncftp for downloading. rsync is not a download tool. It is a delta transmission tool. By delta is meant file changes. It also doubles up as a download tool and it has resume feature built into the rsync rolling checksum algorithm. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
