You should try working with ancient cisco kit sometime...

Or ancient decrepit name servers running Solaris that we've been trying to 
decomm for 7 years (client just will not update their delegations upstream).

"refuse" is tempting but just not an option sometimes

No FTP, but telnet?
Who on this shiny planet is administring this nightmare?

Thanks Morten, but that AIX server only provides telnet access. :(

I don't know of any script for this, but if you have shell access over
SSH you can check out SSHFS over FUSE

In the joy of anticipation there's the anticipatory
letdown of anticipating not anticipating anticipation
of some future anticipation.




[gentoo-user] looking for a ftp client script

2009-02-26 Thread Weifeng Liu
Hi guys,

I need to exchange some files between a AIX developer server and my gentoo
desktop, actually it is not a gentoo request :-). There is no ftp client
tool or file server setup on that AIX server, and I don't have enough power
to install any binary tool. So, I think it is possible to use script on AIX,
then it will get/put files from/to my gentoo's ftp server. Can anyone
recommend such a script? Perl based script is prefered,

Thanks,
Weifeng
