where a remote completion or `mget' would confuse the client a `restart'
had been issued beforehand. now, `restart' is remembered until an operation
that can actually use it is invoked.
* in sendrequest(), don't reset restart_point upon entry. fixes `restart'
for `put' operations.
* if `restart' is invoked with no arguments, print current setting instead
of displaying a usage
* consistently use printf("%qd", (long long)restart_point) when displaying
restart_point
* use strto[lq]() instead of atol() when parsing `mark' and `restart' values
* remove unnecessary strlen()s when result of previous snprintf() will do
* replace a few malloc()/strcpy()s with strdup()s
* use SECSPERHOUR instead of '3600'
* cleanup for WARNS=1 (including some ugly '(void)&var' bits wrapped in
#ifdef __GNUC__ to shut up gcc warnings WRT setjmp/longjmp)
* use strtol() instead of atoi(), and more extensively check result of
conversion
* use u_int16_t instead of short or int for TCP port addresses
* 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.
* 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.
* 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
friedman@gnu.ai.mit.edu (Noah Friedman) made to his modified ftp:
- implement "lpwd" - local pwd
- implement "preserve" - toggle preserving of file modification
times on retrieved files
- allow for explicit "on" or "off" arg to toggle commands
- "exit" synonym for "quit", "msend" synonym for "mput"
- in confirmation mode, allow 'a' (yes to rest of current command),
and 'p' (turn off prompt mode, as if 'prompt off' was done,
effective immediately)
- "modtime" returns time formatted as localtime, not GMT
Bug fixes:
- check for extraneous args on commands
- cleanup const usage, line formatting
- create 0 length temporary file in remglob() to prevent symlink games
(from OpenBSD)
- check length of filename of ~/.netrc (from OpenBSD)
- don't echo 'ACCT' parameter when debugging (a la 'PASS')
- Fix checking of directory access for "/foo", the parent
directory is "/", not "" (from FreeBSD)
- remove trailing whitespace on lines
- add any missing NetBSD tags
- cleanups to man page, includinging sorting options description
feature additions:
- variable sized hash marks (from [bin/683], but done in the hash command
as an optional arg)
- more user-friendly transfer time printing (from FreeBSD, with mods)
- '-p' command line option to jump into PASV mode (closes [bin/2857],
but with an option rather than checking argv[0])
- SIGINFO support for printing xfer stats when sending/receiving requests
- '-P port' for changing the port to connect to (from thorpej@netbsd.org)
- '-a': bypass normal login, and try anonymous login (from OpenBSD
via thorpej)
- autofetch files via url (ftp://...) or "classic" (host:/file)
(from OpenBSD via thorpej)
- 'ftp' synonymous with 'open' (from FreeBSD)
