The last five arguments will fetch a file using the
new features: - add `usage'; displays the usage of a command. implemented by calling the c_handler() with argc = 0, argv = "funcname". - add `passive auto'; does the same as $FTPMODE=auto. - add `set [option value]'; display all options, or set an option to a value. - add `unset option'; unset an option. - add getoptionvalue() to retrieve an option's value, and replace a few global variables with calls to this. - implement cleanuppeer(), which resets various bits of state back to `disconnected'. call in disconnect() and lostpeer(). - support completing on `options'. - improve recovery after a SIGINT may have closed the connection. XXX: there's still a couple to fix other stuff: - various consistency fixes in the man page. - ensure that the command usage strings in the code and man page match reality. - mput/mget: check that the connection still exists before each xfer. - minor cosmetic changes in confirm(). - set code correctly in sizecmd() and modtime() - don't need \n in err() strings. - change lostpeer to take an argument (rather than casting (sig_t)lostpeer in signal handlers) - knf and whitespace police.

Fixes [bin/3011], albiet requiring the user to help ftp in determining the operation. Other changes: * '-P port' works for normal ftp, and is the default for all classic style auto-fetch transfers and for ftp URLs that don't specify the port.

[Yet Another Huge Ftp Commit - hopefully the last for a while, barring any more little things people want added ...] New features: * progressmeter is now asynchronous, so "stalled" transfers can be detected. "- stalled -" is displayed instead of the ETA in this case. When the xfer resumes, the time that the xfer was stalled for is factored out of the ETA. It is debatable whether this is better than not factoring it out, but I like it this way (I.e, if it stalls for 8 seconds and the ETA was 30 seconds, when it resumes the ETA will still be 30 seconds). * verbosity can be disabled on the command line (-V), so that in auto-fetch mode the only lines displayed will be a description of the file, and the progress bar (if possible) * if the screen is resized (and detected via the SIGWINCH signal), the progress bar will rescale automatically. Bugs fixed: * progress bar will not use the last character on the line, as this can cause problems on some terminals * screen dimensions (via ioctl(TIOCWINSZ)) should use stdout not stdin * progressmeter() used some vars before initialising them * ^D will quit now. [fixes bin/3162] * use hstrerror() to generate error message for host name lookup failure. * use getcwd instead of getwd (it should have been OK, but why tempt fate?) * auto-fetch transfers will always return a positive exit value upon failure or interruption, relative to the file's position in argv[]. * remote completion of / will work, without putting a leading "///". This is actually a bug in ftpd(1), where "NLST /" prefixes all names with "//", but fixing every ftpd(1) is not an option...

Change `ls' to use the `LIST' and not `NLST' FTP protocol command. Now that after many years on not caring we find certain popular ftp servers are starting to obey RFC959 to the letter of the law and will only return a list of filenames (not directories or other filetypes) in the output of `NLST', then `LIST' is more useful in this case.

Define a macro.
Subsequent lines are stored as the macro
.Ar macro-name ;
a null line (consecutive newline characters
in a file or
carriage returns from the terminal) terminates macro input mode.
There is a limit of 16 macros and 4096 total characters in all
defined macros.
Macros remain defined until a
.Ic close
command is executed.
The macro processor interprets `$' and `\e' as special characters.
A `$' followed by a number (or numbers) is replaced by the
corresponding argument on the macro invocation command line.
A `$' followed by an `i' signals that macro processor that the
executing macro is to be looped.
On the first pass `$i' is
replaced by the first argument on the macro invocation command line,
on the second pass it is replaced by the second argument, and so on.
A `\e' followed by any character is replaced by that character.
Use the `\e' to prevent special treatment of the `$'.

Use `\\' to prevent this special treatment of the `$' character.
All other characters are treated literally, and are used to determine the
.Ic nmap
.Op Ar inpattern
variable values.
For example, given
.Ar inpattern
$1.$2 and the remote file name "mydata.data", $1 would have the value
"mydata", and $2 would have the value "data".
The
.Ar outpattern
determines the resulting mapped filename.
The sequences `$1', `$2', ...., `$9' are replaced by any value resulting
from the
.Ar inpattern
template.
The sequence `$0' is replace by the original filename.
Additionally, the sequence
.Ql Op Ar seq1 , Ar seq2
is replaced by
.Op Ar seq1
if
.Ar seq1
is not a null string; otherwise it is replaced by
.Ar seq2 .
For example, the command
.Pp
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
nmap $1.$2.$3 [$1,$2].[$2,file]
.Ed
.Pp
would yield
the output filename "myfile.data" for input filenames "myfile.data" and
"myfile.data.old", "myfile.file" for the input filename "myfile", and
"myfile.myfile" for the input filename ".myfile".
Spaces may be included in

When prompting is on, the following commands are available at a prompt:
New features: * Command line editing via editline(3) library. * Context sensitive command and file completion, including remote files. Enhancements to auto-fetch feature: * Support for http:// URLs using the http protocol, including proxy HTTP support via $htty_proxy if it's defined. * The connection is kept open between successive files on the same host. (obviously, this does not count for http requests.) * Return value of ftp is 0 on no error, or the offset in argv[] of the file which failed (i.e., argv[x] failed, ftp returns x). * If the path in an ftp URL or classic format line has a trailing '/', cd to the path and enter interactive mode. Fixes [bin/3011], albiet requiring the user to help ftp in determining the operation. Other changes: * '-P port' works for normal ftp, and is the default for all classic style auto-fetch transfers and for ftp URLs that don't specify the port. (previously it would just work for the first xfer.) * Some code moved into separated files along logical divisions. * Editing and completion can be compiled out with -DSMALLFTP.

functionality mods: * implement 'progress bar/meter' (inspired by ncftp). use 'progress' to toggle on. it will display current file size to 5 digits, automatically determining suffix (up to 16384 P (petabytes) == 2^64). * 'ls' now uses NLST (unadorned listing), a la older ftp clients. 'dir' still does LIST (long listing). idea from John Nemeth <jnemeth@cue.bc.ca> bug fixes: * return first line of reply in reply_string[] from getreply(), instead of last line. This fixes [bin/741] (parsing of SYST), and also means that SIZE and MDTM messages will be parsed correctly if they're longer than 1 line. * parse URL-style auto-ftps that have no filename correctly (e.g, ftp://host, ftp://host/, ftp://host/dir/). pointed out by Jaromir Dolecek <dolecek@saruman.ics.muni.cz> * pass the correct size array in 2nd arg of utimes() when setting the modification time

[fear this; more ftp hacking from lukem :-] features: --------- * transfer rate throttling with the new `rate' command. syntax: rate direction [max [incr]] where direction is `all', `get' or `put'. if max is not supplied, the current settings are displayed. if max is supplied, then transfers in the given direction will be throttled to this value. if incr is supplied, the increment for the `on-the-fly' scaling will be set to that, otherwise `1024' is used. currently implemented for binary get, binary put, and url fetches. not yet supported for ascii get or put, or local file copies. * on-the-fly scaling of the throttle based on signals: - SIGUSR1 raises the throttle rate by the increment for that direction - SIGUSR2 lowers the throttle rate by the increment for that direction * -T dir,max[,incr] option to set rate from the command line * `k', `m', `g' suffix support for bytecounts in the `hash', `rate', `rcvbuf' and `sndbuf' commands) bug fixes and code mods: ------------------------ * fix up ftp_login() so that ruserpass() is always called, even for command-line url fetches. * implement strsuftoi(), which parses a given number into a int with suffix support. replaces getsockbufsize() * implement parserate(), which does the argv parsing for -T and rate * save and restore errno in signal handlers (may not be necessary, but it doesn't hurt) notes: ------ the rate command has had reasonable testing, but I'd like feedback if it doesn't do the right thing, especially from people on slower (i.e, modem) links. I haven't tested the rate throttle against a http server which does `transfer-encoding: chunked' because I couldn't find a server to test against.

.Sh AUTO-FETCHING FILES
In addition to standard commands, this version of
.Nm
supports an auto-fetch feature.
To enable auto-fetch, simply pass the list of hostnames/files
on the command line.
.Pp
The following formats are valid syntax for an auto-fetch element:
* add url_decode() - `in-place' decode %xx escapes in a given url component * parse_url() - only look for user[:pass] for an ftp url (per rfc1738) - strip leading /'s in an ftp url. (almost per rfc 1738) * fetch_url() - decode a copy of the path and use that to build local filenames - send port in http Host: header (suggested by cgd@netbsd.org) * fetch_ftp() - url_decode() the user, pass and path - fix splitting of path into dir & file (partially from [bin/7073]) - don't bother caching the last host; it can cause problems when using ftp:// transfers, or when the user changes between xfers * improve documentation of auto-fetched url arguments (especially regarding escape sequences in ftp:// urls) * some whitespace & copyright updates this should fix [bin/7073] William O Ferry <woferry@warp.wofme.com>, as well as the metaissues raised in that PR.

* complete_remote(): use remglob("", ...) instead of remglob(".", ...), for listings of the current working directory; some ftp servers don't like `NLST .'.

(to support the above change) * support `[user@]' in `[user@]host' and `[user@]host[:][path]'. [based on idea (and initial code) from David Maxwell <david@fundy.ca>] * `idle' may be invoked without any args * reformat some comments * reformat usage string in program and man page * call updateremotepwd() after successful login, not after successful connect * always call setsockopt(, IPPROTO_IP, IP_TOS, ) (et al); using #if defined(IPPROTO_IP) doesn't work on certain foreign systems where enums instead of #defines are used...

Features: * support remglobbing of auto_fetch arguments * new flag - '-e'; disable editing * "page file" == "get file |${PAGER-less}" Bugfixes/cleanup: * consistently use a trailing '.' on messages * code cleanup, including buffer overrun fixes, use puts and putchar in places, etc (inspired by OpenBSD mods) * disable progress bar when local-file is a pipe or '-' * skip \r in http headers * fix remote ftpd slash bug more elegantly (so it works with ////) * abort_remote(): check if cout==NULL before using it. should fix [bin/3273] * fixed up cosmetic problems when complete_remote() generated errors from the remote server (such as "no files found", "login with user and pass", ...) done by adding extra argument to remglob(), which is a pointer to an error buffer to put messages in rather than printing to stdout.

[fear this; more ftp hacking from lukem :-] features: --------- * transfer rate throttling with the new `rate' command. syntax: rate direction [max [incr]] where direction is `all', `get' or `put'. if max is not supplied, the current settings are displayed. if max is supplied, then transfers in the given direction will be throttled to this value. if incr is supplied, the increment for the `on-the-fly' scaling will be set to that, otherwise `1024' is used. currently implemented for binary get, binary put, and url fetches. not yet supported for ascii get or put, or local file copies. * on-the-fly scaling of the throttle based on signals: - SIGUSR1 raises the throttle rate by the increment for that direction - SIGUSR2 lowers the throttle rate by the increment for that direction * -T dir,max[,incr] option to set rate from the command line * `k', `m', `g' suffix support for bytecounts in the `hash', `rate', `rcvbuf' and `sndbuf' commands) bug fixes and code mods: ------------------------ * fix up ftp_login() so that ruserpass() is always called, even for command-line url fetches. * implement strsuftoi(), which parses a given number into a int with suffix support. replaces getsockbufsize() * implement parserate(), which does the argv parsing for -T and rate * save and restore errno in signal handlers (may not be necessary, but it doesn't hurt) notes: ------ the rate command has had reasonable testing, but I'd like feedback if it doesn't do the right thing, especially from people on slower (i.e, modem) links. I haven't tested the rate throttle against a http server which does `transfer-encoding: chunked' because I couldn't find a server to test against.

[fear this; more ftp hacking from lukem :-] features: --------- * transfer rate throttling with the new `rate' command. syntax: rate direction [max [incr]] where direction is `all', `get' or `put'. if max is not supplied, the current settings are displayed. if max is supplied, then transfers in the given direction will be throttled to this value. if incr is supplied, the increment for the `on-the-fly' scaling will be set to that, otherwise `1024' is used. currently implemented for binary get, binary put, and url fetches. not yet supported for ascii get or put, or local file copies. * on-the-fly scaling of the throttle based on signals: - SIGUSR1 raises the throttle rate by the increment for that direction - SIGUSR2 lowers the throttle rate by the increment for that direction * -T dir,max[,incr] option to set rate from the command line * `k', `m', `g' suffix support for bytecounts in the `hash', `rate', `rcvbuf' and `sndbuf' commands) bug fixes and code mods: ------------------------ * fix up ftp_login() so that ruserpass() is always called, even for command-line url fetches. * implement strsuftoi(), which parses a given number into a int with suffix support. replaces getsockbufsize() * implement parserate(), which does the argv parsing for -T and rate * save and restore errno in signal handlers (may not be necessary, but it doesn't hurt) notes: ------ the rate command has had reasonable testing, but I'd like feedback if it doesn't do the right thing, especially from people on slower (i.e, modem) links. I haven't tested the rate throttle against a http server which does `transfer-encoding: chunked' because I couldn't find a server to test against.

Features: * support remglobbing of auto_fetch arguments * new flag - '-e'; disable editing * "page file" == "get file |${PAGER-less}" Bugfixes/cleanup: * consistently use a trailing '.' on messages * code cleanup, including buffer overrun fixes, use puts and putchar in places, etc (inspired by OpenBSD mods) * disable progress bar when local-file is a pipe or '-' * skip \r in http headers * fix remote ftpd slash bug more elegantly (so it works with ////) * abort_remote(): check if cout==NULL before using it. should fix [bin/3273] * fixed up cosmetic problems when complete_remote() generated errors from the remote server (such as "no files found", "login with user and pass", ...) done by adding extra argument to remglob(), which is a pointer to an error buffer to put messages in rather than printing to stdout.

- implement updateremotepwd(); update the global variable `remotepwd' to contain the remote working directory. - add `set prompt', a user configurable prompt. (defaults to `ftp> '). the following escape characters a la tcsh(1) are supported: %/, %m, %M, and %n. - add global var `username'; used by prompt code - fix a couple of minor memory leaks - bump version

IPv6 support.

.Pp
- fix ai_unmapped() to be a no-op in the !def INET6 case - display `(-INET6)' at the end of the version string if !def INET6 - clarify in the man page that IPv6 support may not be present (for lukemftp :)
2000-06-05 13:22:52 +04:00
IPv6 support was added by the WIDE/KAME project
(but may not be present in all non-NetBSD versions of this program, depending
if the operating system supports IPv6 in a similar manner to KAME).

.Sh BUGS
Correct execution of many commands depends upon proper behavior
by the remote server.
.Pp
An error in the treatment of carriage returns
in the
.Bx 4.2
ascii-mode transfer code
has been corrected.
This correction may result in incorrect transfers of binary files
to and from
.Bx 4.2
servers using the ascii type.
Avoid this problem by using the binary image type.
document IPv4 mapped address twists. - ftp(1): treats IPv4 mapped destination as IPv4 peer, not native IPv6 peer. this does not support network with SIIT translator. - rshd(8)/rlogind(8): rejects accesses from IPv4 mapped peer, to avoid possible abuse of IPv4 mapped addr (rshd/rlogind use source address-based auth so it is important to check the condition).

add support for FEAT and OPTS commands with `features' and `opts'. (from RFC 2389). add support for MLST & MLSD (machine parseble listings) with 'mlst', 'mlsd' and 'pmlsd' (mlsd |$PAGER) commands. (from draft-ietf-ftpext-mlst-11) rename remotesyst() to getremoteinfo(), and modify to parse the result from FEAT (if supported), and take into account the support for the various extensions such as MDTM, SIZE, REST (STREAM), MLSD, and FEAT/OPTS. put each feature into one of the following categories: - known to work (explicit FEAT) - unknown but assume works until explicit failure, when it's then tagged as `known not to work'. - known not to work (FEAT succeeded but didn't return anything, or was unknown and then explicit failure) assign results into features[] matrix. add support to getreply() so that an optional callback will be called for each line received from the server except for the first and last. this is used in FEAT (and MLST) parsing. modify various commands to check if REST (STREAM), MDTM and SIZE are explicitly or implicitly supported before using. fix `syst' when verbose is off. minor knf (indent goto labels by one space, etc). simply various command usage handlers by assuming that argv != NULL except for quit() and disconnect().
