Hi,
I am using ncftp to download the Suse6.0 iso image
(6.0-evaluation.iso). I am using kppp to start up ncftp on connect. I
have written a macro in ncftp to automatically connect to the site to
download the file. It all works great except occasionally the ftp
connection bombs out after too long without receiving anything. It is
mainly because I am in Australia that the connection isn't as reliable
as it should be. I tried the Australian mirror but it only has the full
ftp version on it (2.4 Gbytes is too much to dnload via modem). The way
I do it I don't even notice I'm dnloading it, as it's automatic
everytime I use the web.
Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to automatically restart the
program whenever the dnload aborts. This would truly make it transparent
and I wouldn't have to keep restarting the ftp dnload. Also if I'm away
from my computer and it dies, I lose my ppp connection after 10-20
minutes of inactivity.
Can someone help, or even know of a better way of doing it?
Thanks very much,
Brad.
