how to get ftpcopy ?

Hi all,
I just moved form RedHat to Gentoo. Everything's fine so far. However, I can't find ftpcopy. Is it a part of some other package?

Regards

Hello rtwick,

Looks like ftpcopy isn't in portage yet, i have no idea if it's uncluded in another package, sorry I'm not of big help here..

Here is an url though i found if you need to install it anyways http://www.ohse.de/uwe/ftpcopy/install.html
I found it doing a simple google search, once again I don't think i'm of great help

Hope someone else answers you

[edit]Maybe ftpd has it included, but not sure at all...[/edit]

JeaN,
Thanks for the link. I'll try to install it from its homepage. But I think last week I had it installed on my machine some how ( can't remeber and I have reformatted the machine so can't be sure). May be it was a left over from the redhat as I had upgraded redhat to gentoo last time but wasn't happy so formatted it and installed everything from scratch.

Hello rtwick,

Maybe you'd like to check wget, it can do probably the same as ftpcopy, and is included by default in most unix ( i think it's a comonly used program ) here is the url : http://www.gnu.org/manual/wget/html_mono/wget.html#SEC10

Initially I tried wget when I couldn't find ftpcopy but the problem was I couldn't specify user id/password for the remote ftp site via command line. But no, I installed ftpcopy form the url you specified and all fine now

Thanks for your help

Hello,

To use login and password you need to pass those arguments in command line to wget :

`login = <yourlogin>' `passwd = <yourpassword>'

Just in case you want to know

Didn't work.. here's what i tried

wget login=rtwick passwd=mypass ftp://192.168.0.156/Downloads/Linux/gentoo-grp-pentium3-1.4_rc2.iso

Result :
--11:11:17-- http://login=rtwick/
=> `index.html'
Resolving login=rtwick... failed: Host not found.
--11:11:17-- http://passwd=mypass/

--11:11:19-- ftp://192.168.0.156/Downloads/Linux/gentoo-grp-pentium3-1.4_rc2.iso

I also tried

wget --login=rtwick --passwd=mypass ftp://192.168.0.156/Downloads/Linux/gentoo-grp-pentium3-1.4_rc2.iso

Result:
wget: unrecognized option `--login=rtwick'
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options.
