use it to disable extended passive mode when your firewall is obnoxious.
This did in fact solve a problem I was having with a firewall at work, and
the status message was taken directly from a problem session fixed by this.
elapsed time. (suggested by simonb)
- actually display transfer stats after a URL fetch. (bug introduced a
*long* time ago)
- update copyright & version
From Hajimu UMEMOTO, via Mike Heffner of FreeBSD.
(FreeBSD has imported NetBSD's ftp as their ftp client;
Mike is sending back some of their local changes).
- add -N netrc and $NETRC, as methods to select an alternative .netrc file
- cache local user name and home directory for further use
- in mget(), use docase() instead of a local version to do the case
conversion.
(from RFC 2389).
add support for MLST & MLSD (machine parseble listings) with 'mlst', 'mlsd'
and 'pmlsd' (mlsd |$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().
- 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).
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. (Note that the aforementioned pedanticness means that
filename completion isn't as useful as it could be...)
