Dear all, I am attempting this tip business again. I cannot promise anything about regularity and stuff.
There are many problems now. I don't have a sustenance situation that is normal and nominal. I don't have .... Anyway now I will send whatever tip I feel like and whenever I can. Without repeating this more than once a day. Now goes: $ lftp ftp://ftp.kernel.org/ > mirror linux-2.6.32/ It is just an example. lftp can be used to copy an entire directory to local. And it can talk ftp, http, https, ftps, sftp and so on. lftp can also be scripted and you can queue downloads(background). For instance this script does that: $ cat lftp.txt open ftp.foo.org queue get file.iso quit You run it like this: $ lftp -f lftp.txt This way you can download without waiting for it to complete. -Girish -- G3 Tech Networking appliance company web: http://g3tech.in mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
