System is running fine, thank you! A question: Can I do ftp in passive
mode with dselect ? It does not seem to rely on .netrc, so I can't give
passive command there. I also tried dftp, but it seemed too complicated
(did not read .dftprc etc).
Well, I beg to differ with complicated. If you have straight FTP access,
you should just be able to type:
dftp getnew
Not too much there.
It does read .dftprc (because I use it) and also /etc/dftp.conf.
(I would like to update my machines both at home and work to newest
Debian. Behind a firewall this is always a bit strange. The only thing
that seems to work is to use ftp in passive mode.)
I used to use dftp through an Eagle secure gateway. Though I have not
used this capability for quite some time, now, it should still be
functional. Whether this will work with your firewall or not is a
different question. Dftp does rely on .netrc (one it builds, not
your own) to get through a firewall, so if you can set up your personal
.netrc to get through the firewall, then 'dftp' can also work through
the firewall, though it may need some modification to do so.
