Short: Stand-alone FTP 'get' command. V1.2. Author: izzy@ancient.demon.co.uk (Simon Dainty) Uploader: izzy ancient demon co uk (Simon Dainty) Type: comm/tcp Architecture: m68k-amigaos A shell command that acts in the same way as the standard FTP 'get' session instruction. It will allow you to receive remote files via an automated FTP session, by specifying from the Shell which site to begin a session with, the remote files to obtain, their local file name and their expected file type. Any login information may also be optionally supplied, else defaults will be assumed. Binary only. History V1.0 ---- - Initial release, no known bugs. V1.1 ---- - Added CWD command line keyword, which allows you to specify a remote directory that relates to the base directory from where the given remote files will be addressed. V1.2 ---- - Eradicated a serious bug from previous releases that caused FTPGet to fall over in a most unforgivable fashion on '040 equipted machines - when Instruction Cache's enabled. - All unwanted charactures are now removed from the end of each line of text in a text file transfer. - Code optimization, enhancements, fixes. - Modifications to the error specific return codes. - FTPGet no longer uses the DOMAINNAME environment variable, but instead applies the extended HOSTNAME variable. Refer to chapter 2.1 of the documentation for more information. - FTPGet will now display the size of the remote file that it is receiving if the FTP server accepts the "SIZE" command. - Added INFO command line argument which, when active, offers a primitive progress meter showing the current number of bytes received. - Added LIST command line argument. FTPGet can now process a plain ASCII list of files (one per line), where each entry in the file list is requested from the remote site sequentially. - Added BUFFER command line argument. FTPGet now incorporates a user configurable internal receive buffer, the threshold of which can be set from the command line. - Added FORCE command line argument. When several files have been request for transfer, a "missing" item in the list will not cause FTPGet to abort the session with an error.
