<h1>qftp</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p><i>qftp</i> is a utility that performs file transfers using
|
||
|

|
|
line.</p>
|
||
|

</pre>
|

<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt>action</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Specifies what <i>qftp</i> is to do. <i>qftp</i> can
|
||
|
|
<b>send</b> files to a remote system, <b>get</b> files from a
|
||
|
|
remote system, remove (<b>rm</b>) files from a remote system, or
|
||
|
|
retreive a <b>dir</b>ectory of files or a <b>list</b> of files on a
|
||
|
|
remote system.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt>host</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Specifies the name of the remote system. An alternate port may
|
||
|
|
be specified by appending a colon and the port name or number to
|
||
|
|
the host name.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt>-l user</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Specifies the username to log in with on <b>host</b>.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt>-p pass</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Specifies the password to log in with on <b>host</b>.
|
||
|
|
<p>If <b>user</b> is not specified, <i>qftp</i> will use
|
||
|
|
<b>anonymous</b>. If <b>pass</b> is also not specified, <i>qftp</i>
|
||
|
|
attempts to build a password from the translation of the
|
||
|
|
environment variable "USER" and the string returned by
|
||
|
|
gethostname() separated by an "@".</p>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt>-v level</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Specifies the verbosity level. A level of 1 will cause
|
||
|
|
<i>qftp</i> to display messages indicating successful transfers. A
|
||
|
|
level of 2 will cause FTP protocol responses to be displayed. A
|
||
|
|
level of 3 will cause FTP protocol commands to be displayed.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt>-r rootpath</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Sends a 'change directory' request to the remote server. All
|
||
|
|
subsequent file names on the command line will be parsed relative
|
||
|
|
to this new directory.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt>-m umask</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Sends a request to change the umask to the remote server. This
|
||
|
|
may not be supported by all servers. It is implemented using the
|
||
|
|
'SITE' command in the FTP protocol.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt>-a</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Requests that subsequent files be sent in ascii mode.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt>-i</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Requests that subsequent files be sent in image mode.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt>-w</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Toggles handling of filenames to get as wildcards. When a
|
||
|
|
wildcard filename is encountered it is passed to the server in a
|
||
|
|
NLST (brief directory) command. qftp will save the list of files
|
||
|
|
returned and then retrieve each file individually.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt>-s cmd</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Sends cmd in a SITE command. This can be useful to alter the way
|
||
|
|
filenames are presented. For example, an OpenVMS FTP server will
|
||
|
|
strip version numbers from file names after receiving a 'SITE UNIX'
|
||
|
|
command.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt>-b</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Toggles stripping of paths from filenames on send. By default,
|
||
|
|
qftp passes the full path of the input file as specified on the
|
||
|
|
command line to the remote FTP server as the target filename. This
|
||
|
|
option will cause qftp to send only the basename of the file.</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
<p><i>qftp</i> reads the command line argument by argument and acts on
|
||
|
|
each as it comes to it. Most options only change the value of a
|
||
|
|
variable. The '-m' (umask), '-s' (site), and '-r' (change
|
||
|
|
directory) options are executed immediately by sending the command
|
||
|
|
to the server. The '-a' (ascii) and '-i' (image) options save the
|
||
|
|
type for subsequent transfers. When a filename is encountered it
|
||
|
|
is sent to the server with the command for the selected action.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It is possible to send multiple files with different modes on the
|
||
|
|
same command line. For example, the following command will send all
|
||
|
|
text files in ascii mode and all zip files in image mode:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
qftp send srvr -a *.txt -i *.zip
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p><i>qftp</i> may optionally be invoked through a softlink.
|
||
|
|
<i>qftp</i> searches the command which invoked it for 'send', 'get'
|
||
|
|
or 'dir' and, if found, performs the requested function. In this
|
||
|
|
case, leave off the <b>action</b> argument on the command line.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example; create the following softlinks:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
ln -s qftp ftpsend
|
||
|
|
ln -s qftp ftpget
|
||
|
|
ln -s qftp ftpdir
|
||
|
|
ln -s qftp ftplist
|
||
|
|
ln -s qftp ftprm
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>and then invoke transfers with 'ftpsend' instead of 'qftp send',
|
||
|
|
etc.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If no file names are specified on the command line, <i>qftp</i>
|
||
|
|
will read file names from stdin. Use your favorite utility to
|
||
|
|
generate a list of files to send/retreive or type them
|
||
|
|
interactively.</p>
