int getline(FILE *stream, char *buf, size_t buflen, const char **errormsg)
Read a line from the FILE stream into buf/buflen using fgets(), so up
to buflen-1 chars will be read and the result will be NUL terminated.
If the line has a trailing newline it will be removed.
If the line is too long, excess characters will be read until
newline/EOF/error.
Various -ve return values indicate different errors, and errormsg
will be changed to an error description if it's not NULL.
Convert to use getline() instead of fgets() whenever reading user input
to ensure that an overly long input line doesn't leave excess characters
for the next input operation to accidentally use as input.
Zero out the password & account after we've finished with it.
Consistently use getpass(3) (i.e, character echo suppressed) when
reading the account data. For some reason, historically the "login"
code suppressed echo for Account: yet the "user" command did not!
Display the hostname in the "getaddrinfo failed" warning.
Appease some -Wcast-qual warnings. Fixing all of these requires
significant code refactoring. (mmm, legacy code).
- 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.
- 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.
prototype for idle() in <unistd.h> (which i thought was against namespace
and sensibility guidelines, but...)
* consistently use xsignal() instead of signal(). we get known behaviour
in all cases (SA_RESTART), which is good for some borken foreign systems.
* remove signal.h from most files; it's unnecessary now
* fetch_url(): use `long chunksize' instead of ssize_t; it's more portable, and
we're setting chunksize with strtol() anyway
* xsignal(): only use SA_RESTART if it exists. SunOS 4.x doesn't have it
but has the inverse (SA_INTERRUPT). the original function i was inspired
from had this support (lib/signal.c, W. Richard Stevens' `UNP 2nd ed Vol 1').
* remove <termios.h> from util.c; it should be unnecessary now
* support $no_proxy, which is a comma or space separated list of
host[:port] elements for which proxying is to be disabled.
(asked for by cgd in [bin/5027])
* if $FTPANONPASS is defined, use that as the anon ftp password
(instead of "`whoami`@")
* allow http URL's without a filename as long as an output file
is specified.
other stuff:
* implement parse_url(), which breaks up a URL into its bits, and use.
* simplify url_get() and auto_fetch() to use parse_url() and to not
modify the supplied URL or a copy of it.
* implement xmalloc() and xstrdup(); error-checked malloc()/strdup()
* add more consistency to messages, quoting strings in output as `%s'
- ensure hostname from gethostname() is nul-terminated in all cases
- minor KNF
- use MAXHOSTNAMELEN over various other values/defines
- be safe will buffers that hold hostnames
* default to passive with active fallback. $FTPMODE modifies this behaviour.
-A forces active connection.
* support '-o outfile' for auto-fetched files. outfile can be a file,
`-' (for stdout), or '|command' (to output each file through command).
* support '-r waittime', which retries the connection after waittime seconds
if it fails.
* fix 'page file' when restart is non-zero.
* try all ip-addresses of a host in a http fetch (as the normal ftp fetch
does).
XXX: a ``broken pipe'' error sometimes occurs with -o '|command';
i haven't tracked this down yet.
where a remote completion or `mget' would confuse the client a `restart'
had been issued beforehand. now, `restart' is remembered until an operation
that can actually use it is invoked.
* in sendrequest(), don't reset restart_point upon entry. fixes `restart'
for `put' operations.
* if `restart' is invoked with no arguments, print current setting instead
of displaying a usage
* consistently use printf("%qd", (long long)restart_point) when displaying
restart_point
* use strto[lq]() instead of atol() when parsing `mark' and `restart' values
* remove unnecessary strlen()s when result of previous snprintf() will do
* replace a few malloc()/strcpy()s with strdup()s
* use SECSPERHOUR instead of '3600'
* cleanup for WARNS=1 (including some ugly '(void)&var' bits wrapped in
#ifdef __GNUC__ to shut up gcc warnings WRT setjmp/longjmp)
* use strtol() instead of atoi(), and more extensively check result of
conversion
* use u_int16_t instead of short or int for TCP port addresses
* support remglobbing of auto_fetch arguments
* new flag - '-e'; disable editing
* "page file" == "get file |${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)
