- qftp is a simple program which demonstrates the use of ftplib.
- qftp performs directories or file transfers using the ftp protocol based
- on the command it was invoked with and command line arguments. qftp
- can be invoked through a softlink which indicates which operation it
- should perform.
- To install, copy qftp to a directory in your path. Execute the following
- commands in that directory:
- ln -s qftp ftpdir
- ln -s qftp ftpget
- ln -s qftp ftpsend
- ln -s qftp ftprm
- ln -s qftp ftplist
- Then, invoke qftp by using the commands ftpdir, ftpget, ftpsend, ftprm or
- ftplist.
- qftp processes the command line in order. The first argument should be
- the name of the system you wish to converse with. If you need to specify
- login information, that should be specified next with '-l' and '-p'. On
- UNIX systems, if you specify a username with '-l' and don't specify a
- password with '-p', qftp will prompt for a password. It is a good idea
- to do it this way as it keeps the password off the command line and out
- of 'ps' and other displays.
- When working through a proxy firewall, specify the firewall machine's
- name as the host. Specify the real host's name with the -l and -p
- parameters. For example:
- ftpget firewall -l anonymous@real.host.com -p user@myhost.org
- The exit status from qftp can be used to determine whether the transfer
- worked or not. Exit status 2 means a command line syntax error. 3
- indicates a failure while attempting to translate the system name into an
- IP address. 4 indicates a failure attempting to connect to the remote
- machine. 5 indicates a login failure. 6 indicates a remote command
- error. 7 indicates a system call error.
- See the HTML documentation in the html subdirectory for more details.
