Short: Make FTP script for UNIX system (v1.2)
Author: domagal@uci.agh.edu.pl (Grzegorz Fitrzyk)
Uploader: domagal@uci.agh.edu.pl (Grzegorz Fitrzyk)
Type: comm/misc
If you have rights to use account on UNIX based system and you're
coming to internet by phone line, it will be very good way for you
to save some money. Autor of this script is collecting some part
of recent files which he will to download, and from time to time
he is making script with many NCFTP commands. After it hi upload
it to his account on UNIX system and turn it on by commands:
screen -R
chmod 700 script
script
press <ctrl-A-C> (it will open new screen)
and when a screen is change hi logout. Now hi turn off modem, and
wait some time, and later hi doing FTP to his account and download
all files.
There is a many way to start script under UNIX but problem is that
when you logout, your script is hangin off. This method is working.
If on your server's no SCREEN command then try:
batch < script
I never tested it but it will working, I hope...
This script is doing from RECENT file script for UNIX based system.
For example, every line of your RECENT file it will change to chain
of command:
orginal line of RECENT file:
...
WatchWatcher.lha util/time 14K+Checks your clock's sanity V1.3 By F.Ultra
...
after use MakeFTPScript.rexx
...
ncftp ftp.wustl.edu:pub/aminet/util/time/WatchWatcher.lha
ncftp ftp.wustl.edu:pub/aminet/util/time/WatchWatcher.readme (with README
switch on)
...
Usage: rx makeFTPScript.rexx ADDRESS/K SOURCE/K DEST/K README/S
where: ADDRESS is address of ftp server where you like to download.
SOURCE is filename of your RECENT file.
DEST is filename of output file. (I'm using script name)
README is switch which allow to make additional line with ".readme"
New feature! This script count total size of requested files.
I hope you understand what I mean, because my English is poor :).
