.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is the user interface to the Internet standard File Transfer Protocol.
|
|
The program allows a user to transfer files to and from a
|
|
remote network site.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The last five arguments will fetch a file using the
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
or
|
|
.Tn HTTP
|
|
protocols, or by direct copying, into the current directory.
|
|
This is ideal for scripts.
|
|
Refer to
|
|
.Sx AUTO-FETCHING FILES
|
|
below for more information.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Options may be specified at the command line, or to the
|
|
command interpreter.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "port "
|
|
.It Fl 4
|
|
Forces
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to only use IPv4 addresses.
|
|
.It Fl 6
|
|
Forces
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to only use IPv6 addresses.
|
|
.It Fl A
|
|
Force active mode ftp.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will try to use passive mode ftp and fall back to active mode
|
|
if passive is not supported by the server.
|
|
This option causes
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to always use an active connection.
|
|
It is only useful for connecting to very old servers that do not
|
|
implement passive mode properly.
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Causes
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to bypass normal login procedure, and use an anonymous login instead.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Enables debugging.
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
Disables command line editing.
|
|
This is useful for Emacs ange-ftp mode.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Forces a cache reload for transfers that go through the
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
or
|
|
.Tn HTTP
|
|
proxies.
|
|
.It Fl g
|
|
Disables file name globbing.
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
Turns off interactive prompting during
|
|
multiple file transfers.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Restrains
|
|
.Nm
|
|
from attempting
|
|
.Dq auto-login
|
|
upon initial connection for non auto-fetch transfers.
|
|
If auto-login is enabled,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will check the
|
|
.Pa .netrc
|
|
(see below) file in the user's home directory for an entry describing
|
|
an account on the remote machine.
|
|
If no entry exists,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will prompt for the remote machine login name (default is the user
|
|
identity on the local machine), and, if necessary, prompt for a password
|
|
and an account with which to login.
|
|
To override the auto-login for auto-fetch transfers, specify the
|
|
username (and optionally, password) as appropriate.
|
|
.It Fl N Ar netrc
|
|
Use
|
|
.Ar netrc
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Pa ~/.netrc .
|
|
Refer to
|
|
.Sx THE .netrc FILE
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.It Fl o Ar output
|
|
When auto-fetching files, save the contents in
|
|
.Ar output .
|
|
.Ar output
|
|
is parsed according to the
|
|
.Sx FILE NAMING CONVENTIONS
|
|
below.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar output
|
|
is not
|
|
.Sq -
|
|
or doesn't start with
|
|
.Sq \&| ,
|
|
then only the first file specified will be retrieved into
|
|
.Ar output ;
|
|
all other files will be retrieved into the basename of their
|
|
remote name.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Enable passive mode operation for use behind connection filtering firewalls.
|
|
This option has been deprecated as
|
|
.Nm
|
|
now tries to use passive mode by default, falling back to active mode
|
|
if the server does not support passive connections.
|
|
.It Fl P Ar port
|
|
Sets the port number to
|
|
.Ar port .
|
|
.It Fl r Ar wait
|
|
Retry the connection attempt if it failed, pausing for
|
|
.Ar wait
|
|
seconds.
|
|
.It Fl q Ar quittime
|
|
Quit if the connection has stalled for
|
|
.Ar quittime
|
|
seconds.
|
|
.It Fl R
|
|
Restart all non-proxied auto-fetches.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Enables packet tracing.

|
.Ar maximum
|
|
.Op , Ar increment
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Set the maximum transfer rate for
|
|
.Ar direction
|
|
to
|
|
.Ar maximum
|
|
bytes/second,
|
|
and if specified, the increment to
|
|
.Ar increment
|
|
bytes/second.
|
|
Refer to

|
|
.It Fl u Ar URL file Op \&.\&.\&.
|
|
Upload files on the command line to
|
|
.Ar URL
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar URL
|
|
is one of the ftp URL types as supported by auto-fetch
|
|
(with an optional target filename for single file uploads), and
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is one or more local files to be uploaded.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Enable
|
|
.Ic verbose
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic progress .
|
|
This is the default if output is to a terminal (and in the case of
|
|
.Ic progress ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is the foreground process).
|
|

|
|
as report on data transfer statistics.
|
|
.It Fl V
|
|
Disable
|
|
.Ic verbose
|
|
and
|
|

|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The client host with which
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is to communicate may be specified on the command line.
|
|
If this is done,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will immediately attempt to establish a connection to an
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
server on that host; otherwise,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will enter its command interpreter and await instructions
|
|
from the user.
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is awaiting commands from the user the prompt
|
|
.Ql ftp\*[Gt]
|
|
is provided to the user.
|
|
The following commands are recognized

|
.Bl -tag -width Fl
|
|
.It Ic \&! Op Ar command Op Ar args
|
|
Invoke an interactive shell on the local machine.

|
|
password in a non-echoing input mode.
|
|
.It Ic append Ar local-file Op Ar remote-file
|
|
Append a local file to a file on the remote machine.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar remote-file
|

|
|
remote file after being altered by any
|
|
.Ic ntrans
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic nmap
|
|
setting.
|
|
File transfer uses the current settings for
|
|
.Ic type ,

|
|
.It Ic case
|
|
Toggle remote computer file name case mapping during
|
|
.Ic get ,
|
|
.Ic mget
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic mput
|
|
commands.
|
|
When
|
|
.Ic case
|
|
is on (default is off), remote computer file names with all letters in

.It Ic \&cr
|
|
Toggle carriage return stripping during
|
|
ascii type file retrieval.
|
|
Records are denoted by a carriage return/linefeed sequence
|
|
during ascii type file transfer.
|
|
When
|
|
.Ic \&cr
|
|
is on (the default), carriage returns are stripped from this
|
|
sequence to conform with the
|
|
.Ux
|
|
single linefeed record
|
|
delimiter.
|
|
Records on
|
|
.Pf non\- Ns Ux
|
|
remote systems may contain single linefeeds;
|
|
when an ascii type transfer is made, these linefeeds may be
|
|
distinguished from a record delimiter only when
|
|
.Ic \&cr
|
|
is off.
|
|
.It Ic debug Op Ar debug-value
|

|
|
directory on the remote machine.
|
|
The listing includes any system-dependent information that the server
|
|
chooses to include; for example, most
|
|
.Ux
|
|
systems will produce
|
|
output from the command
|
|
.Ql ls \-l .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar remote-path
|
|
is left unspecified, the current working directory is used.
|
|
If interactive prompting is on,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will prompt the user to verify that the last argument is indeed the
|
|
target local file for receiving
|
|
.Ic dir
|
|
output.
|
|
If no local file is specified, or if
|
|
.Ar local-file
|
|

|
|
.Dv EPRT ,
|
|
and then
|
|
.Dv PASV /
|
|
.Dv PORT .
|
|
This is enabled by default.
|
|
If an extended command fails then this option will be temporarily
|
|
disabled for the duration of the current connection, or until
|
|
.Ic epsv4
|
|
is executed again.
|
|
.It Ic exit

|
|
This will not be permitted if the gate-ftp server hasn't been set
|
|
(either explicitly by the user, or from the
|
|
.Ev FTPSERVER
|
|
environment variable).
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar host
|
|
is given,
|
|
then gate-ftp mode will be enabled, and the gate-ftp server will be set to
|
|
.Ar host .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar port
|
|
is also given, that will be used as the port to connect to on the
|
|
gate-ftp server.
|
|
.It Ic get Ar remote-file Op Ar local-file
|
|

.Ic glob ,
|
|
the file name arguments
|
|
are taken literally and not expanded.
|
|
Globbing for
|
|
.Ic mput
|
|
is done as in

.Xr csh 1 .
|
|
For
|
|
.Ic mdelete ,
|
|
.Ic mget ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic mreget ,
|
|
each remote file name is expanded
|
|
separately on the remote machine and the lists are not merged.
|
|
Expansion of a directory name is likely to be
|
|
different from expansion of the name of an ordinary file:
|
|
the exact result depends on the foreign operating system and ftp server,
|
|
and can be previewed by doing
|
|
.Ql mls remote-files \-
|
|
Note:
|
|
.Ic mget ,
|
|
.Ic mput
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic mreget
|
|
are not meant to transfer
|
|
entire directory subtrees of files.
|
|
That can be done by
|
|
transferring a
|
|
.Xr tar 1
|
|
archive of the subtree (in binary mode).
|
|
.It Ic hash Op Ar size
|
|
Toggle hash-sign

|
|
The size of a data block defaults to 1024 bytes.
|
|
This can be changed by specifying

.It Ic macdef Ar macro-name
|
|
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.
|
|
Macro names can be a maximum of 8 characters.
|
|
Macros are only applicable to the current session they are
|
|
defined within (or if defined outside a session, to the session
|
|
invoked with the next
|
|
.Ic open
|
|
command), and remain defined until a
|
|
.Ic close
|
|
command is executed.
|
|
To invoke a macro, use the
|
|
.Ic $
|
|
command (see above).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The macro processor interprets
|
|
.Sq $
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq \e
|
|
as special characters.
|
|
A
|
|
.Sq $
|
|
followed by a number (or numbers) is replaced by the
|
|
corresponding argument on the macro invocation command line.
|
|
A
|
|
.Sq $
|
|
followed by an
|
|
.Sq i
|
|
signals the macro processor that the executing macro is to be
|
|
looped.
|
|
On the first pass
|
|
.Dq $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
|
|
.Sq \e
|
|
followed by any character is replaced by that character.
|
|
Use the
|
|
.Sq \e
|
|
to prevent special treatment of the
|
|
.Sq $ .
|
|
.It Ic mdelete Op Ar remote-files
|
|
Delete the

|
|
.It Ic mdir Ar remote-files local-file
|
|
Like
|
|
.Ic dir ,
|
|
except multiple remote files may be specified.
|
|
If interactive prompting is on,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will prompt the user to verify that the last argument is indeed the
|
|
target local file for receiving
|
|
.Ic mdir
|
|
output.
|
|
.It Ic mget Ar remote-files
|
|
Expand the

|
|
and do a

|
.Ic get
|
|
for each file name thus produced.

|
.Ic put
|
|
for each file in the resulting list.
|
|
See
|
|
.Ic glob
|
|
for details of filename expansion.
|
|
Resulting file names will then be processed according to

.Ic nmap
|
|
settings.
|
|
.It Ic mreget Ar remote-files

|
.Ic reget
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Ic get .
|
|
.It Ic msend Ar local-files
|
|
A synonym for
|
|
.Ic mput .
|
|
.It Ic newer Ar remote-file Op Ar local-file
|
|
Get the file only if the modification time of the remote file is more
|
|
recent that the file on the current system.
|
|
If the file does not
|
|
exist on the current system, the remote file is considered
|
|
.Ic newer .
|
|
Otherwise, this command is identical to
|
|
.Ar get .
|
|
.It Ic nlist Op Ar remote-path Op Ar local-file
|
|
A synonym for
|
|
.Ic ls .
|
|
.It Ic nmap Op Ar inpattern outpattern
|
|
Set or unset the filename mapping mechanism.
|
|
If no arguments are specified, the filename mapping mechanism is unset.
|
|
If arguments are specified, remote filenames are mapped during
|
|
.Ic mput
|
|
commands and
|
|
.Ic put
|
|
commands issued without a specified remote target filename.
|
|
If arguments are specified, local filenames are mapped during
|
|
.Ic mget
|
|
commands and
|
|
.Ic get
|
|
commands issued without a specified local target filename.
|
|
This command is useful when connecting to a
|
|
.No non\- Ns Ux
|
|
remote computer
|
|
with different file naming conventions or practices.
|
|
The mapping follows the pattern set by
|
|
.Ar inpattern
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar outpattern .
|
|
.Op Ar Inpattern
|
|
is a template for incoming filenames (which may have already been
|
|
processed according to the
|
|
.Ic ntrans
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic case
|
|
settings).
|
|
Variable templating is accomplished by including the
|
|
sequences
|
|
.Dq $1 ,
|
|
.Dq $2 ,
|
|
\&...
|
|
.Dq $9
|
|
in
|
|
.Ar inpattern .
|
|
Use
|
|
.Sq \e
|
|
to prevent this special treatment of the
|
|
.Sq $
|
|
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
|
|
.Dq $1 ,
|
|
.Dq $2 ,
|
|
\&...
|
|
.Dq $9
|
|
are replaced by any value resulting from the
|
|
.Ar inpattern
|
|
template.
|
|
The sequence
|
|
.Dq $0
|
|
is replaced by the original filename.
|
|
Additionally, the sequence
|
|
.Dq 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
|
|
.Ar outpattern ,
|
|
as in the example:
|
|
.Dl nmap $1 sed "s/ *$//" \*[Gt] $1
|
|
Use the
|
|
.Sq \e
|
|
character to prevent special treatment
|
|
of the
|
|
.Sq $ ,
|
|
.Sq \&[ ,
|
|
.Sq \&] ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq \&,
|
|
characters.
|
|
.It Ic ntrans Op Ar inchars Op Ar outchars
|
|
Set or unset the filename character translation mechanism.
|
|
If no arguments are specified, the filename character
|
|
translation mechanism is unset.
|
|
If arguments are specified, characters in
|
|
remote filenames are translated during
|
|
.Ic mput
|
|
commands and
|
|
.Ic put
|
|
commands issued without a specified remote target filename.
|
|
If arguments are specified, characters in
|
|
local filenames are translated during
|
|
.Ic mget
|
|
commands and
|
|
.Ic get
|
|
commands issued without a specified local target filename.
|
|
This command is useful when connecting to a
|
|
.No non\- Ns Ux
|
|
remote computer
|
|
with different file naming conventions or practices.
|
|
Characters in a filename matching a character in
|
|
.Ar inchars
|
|
are replaced with the corresponding character in
|
|
.Ar outchars .
|
|
If the character's position in
|
|
.Ar inchars
|
|
is longer than the length of
|
|
.Ar outchars ,
|
|
the character is deleted from the file name.
|
|
.It Ic open Ar host Op Ar port
|
|
Establish a connection to the specified
|
|
.Ar host
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
server.
|
|
An optional port number may be supplied,
|
|
in which case,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will attempt to contact an
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
server at that port.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ic "set auto-login"
|
|
option is on (default),
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will also attempt to automatically log the user in to
|
|
the
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
server (see below).
|
|
.It Ic page Ar file
|
|
Retrieve
|
|
.Ic file
|
|
and display with the program specified by the
|
|
.Ic "set pager"
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Ic passive Op Cm auto
|
|
Toggle passive mode (if no arguments are given).
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm auto
|
|
is given, act as if
|
|
.Ev FTPMODE
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Sq auto .
|
|
If passive mode is turned on (default),
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will send a
|
|
.Dv PASV
|
|
command for all data connections instead of a
|
|
.Dv PORT
|
|
command.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv PASV
|
|
command requests that the remote server open a port for the data connection
|
|
and return the address of that port.
|
|
The remote server listens on that port and the client connects to it.
|
|
When using the more traditional
|
|
.Dv PORT
|
|
command, the client listens on a port and sends that address to the remote
|
|
server, who connects back to it.
|
|
Passive mode is useful when using
|
|
.Nm
|
|
through a gateway router or host that controls the directionality of
|
|
traffic.
|
|
(Note that though
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
servers are required to support the
|
|
.Dv PASV
|
|
command by
|
|
.Li RFC 1123 ,
|
|
some do not.)
|
|
.It Ic pdir Op Ar remote-path

|
|
.It Ic preserve
|
|
Toggle preservation of modification times on retrieved files.
|
|
.It Ic progress
|
|
Toggle display of transfer progress bar.
|
|
The progress bar will be disabled for a transfer that has
|

|
|
or a command that starts with
|
|

.Ic progress
|
|
disables
|

|
|
.It Ic prompt
|
|
Toggle interactive prompting.
|
|
Interactive prompting
|
|
occurs during multiple file transfers to allow the
|
|
user to selectively retrieve or store files.
|
|
If prompting is turned off (default is on), any
|
|
.Ic mget
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic mput
|
|
will transfer all files, and any
|
|
.Ic mdelete
|
|
will delete all files.

|
|
.It Ic proxy Ar ftp-command
|
|
Execute an ftp command on a secondary control connection.
|
|
This command allows simultaneous connection to two remote
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
servers for transferring files between the two servers.
|
|
The first
|
|
.Ic proxy
|
|
command should be an

|
.Ic open ,
|
|
to establish the secondary control connection.
|
|
Enter the command "proxy ?" to see other
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
commands executable on the secondary connection.
|
|
The following commands behave differently when prefaced by
|
|
.Ic proxy :
|
|
.Ic open
|
|
will not define new macros during the auto-login process,
|
|
.Ic close
|
|
will not erase existing macro definitions,

|
.Ic mput ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic append
|
|
transfer files from the host on the secondary control connection
|
|
to the host on the primary control connection.
|
|
Third party file transfers depend upon support of the
|
|
.Tn FTP

|
|
.Dv PASV
|
|
command by the server on the secondary control connection.
|
|
.It Ic put Ar local-file Op Ar remote-file

|
|
.It Ic reget Ar remote-file Op Ar local-file
|
|
.Ic reget
|
|
acts like
|

.Ar local-file
|
|
exists and is

a partially transferred copy of
|
|
.Ar remote-file
|
|
and the transfer
|
|
is continued from the apparent point of failure.
|
|
This command
|
|
is useful when transferring very large files over networks that
|
|
are prone to dropping connections.
|
|
.It Ic remopts Ar command Op Ar command-options

commands known to support options include:
|
|
.Sq MLST
|
|
(used for
|
|
.Dv MLSD

and
|
|
.Dv MLST ) .
|
|
.It Ic rename Op Ar from Op Ar to

.Ar from
|
|
on the remote machine, to the file
|
|
.Ar to .
|
|
.It Ic reset
|
|
Clear reply queue.
|
|
This command re-synchronizes command/reply sequencing with the remote
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
server.
|
|
Resynchronization may be necessary following a violation of the
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
protocol by the remote server.
|
|
.It Ic restart Ar marker
|
|
Restart the immediately following
|

|
|
indicated
|
|
.Ar marker .

|
offset into the file.
|
|
.It Ic rhelp Op Ar command-name
|
|
Request help from the remote

|
.Ar command-name
|
|
is specified it is supplied to the server as well.
|
|
.It Ic rmdir Ar directory-name
|
|
Delete a directory on the remote machine.
|
|
.It Ic rstatus Op Ar remote-file
|
|
With no arguments, show status of remote machine.
|
|
If

|
.Ar remote-file
|
|
is specified, show status of
|
|
.Ar remote-file
|
|
on remote machine.
|
|
.It Ic runique
|
|
Toggle storing of files on the local system with unique filenames.
|
|
If a file already exists with a name equal to the target
|
|
local filename for a
|
|
.Ic get
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic mget
|
|
command, a ".1" is appended to the name.
|
|
If the resulting name matches another existing file,
|
|
a ".2" is appended to the original name.
|
|
If this process continues up to ".99", an error
|
|
message is printed, and the transfer does not take place.
|
|
The generated unique filename will be reported.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Ic runique
|
|
will not affect local files generated from a shell command
|
|
(see below).

The default value is off.
|
|
.It Ic send Ar local-file Op Ar remote-file
|

A synonym for

.Ic put .
|
|
.It Ic sendport
|
|
Toggle the use of
|
|
.Dv PORT
|
|
commands.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will attempt to use a
|
|
.Dv PORT
|
|
command when establishing
|
|
a connection for each data transfer.
|
|
The use of
|
|
.Dv PORT
|
|
commands can prevent delays
|
|
when performing multiple file transfers.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Dv PORT
|
|
command fails,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will use the default data port.
|
|
When the use of
|
|
.Dv PORT
|
|
commands is disabled, no attempt will be made to use
|
|
.Dv PORT
|
|
commands for each data transfer.
|
|
This is useful
|
|
for certain
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
implementations which do ignore
|
|
.Dv PORT
|
|
commands but, incorrectly, indicate they've been accepted.

.Sh AUTO-FETCHING FILES
|

supports an auto-fetch feature.
|
|
To enable auto-fetch, simply pass the list of hostnames/files
|
|
on the command line.

If the directory component of

In order to be compliant with
|
|
.Li RFC 1738 ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interprets the
|
|
.Ar path
|
|
part of an
|
|
.Dq ftp://
|
|
auto-fetch URL as follows:
|
|
.Bl -bullet

.It
|
|
The

.Sq Li /
|
|
immediately after the
|
|
.Ar host Ns Oo Li \&: Ns Ar port Oc
|
|
is interpreted as a separator before the
|
|
.Ar path ,
|
|
and not as part of the
|
|
.Ar path
|
|
itself.
|
|
.It
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar path
|
|
is interpreted as a
|
|
.So Li / Sc Ns -separated
|
|
list of name components.
|
|
For all but the last such component,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
performs the equivalent of a
|
|
.Ic cd
|
|
command.
|
|
For the last path component,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
performs the equivalent of a
|
|
.Ic get
|
|
command.
|
|
.It
|
|
Empty name components,
|
|
which result from
|
|
.Sq Li //

.Ar path ,
|
|
or from an extra
|
|
.Sq Li /
|
|
at the beginning of the
|
|
.Ar path ,
|
|
will cause the equivalent of a

|
.Sq Li \&% Ns Ar XX
|

codes

|
(per
|
|
.Li RFC 1738 )
|
|
within the path components are decoded, with
|
|
.Ar XX
|
|
representing a character code in hexadecimal.
|
|
This decoding takes place after the
|
|
.Ar path
|
|
has been split into components,
|
|
but before each component is used in the equivalent of a
|
|
.Ic cd
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic get
|
|
command.
|
|
Some often-used codes are
|
|
.Sq Li \&%2F
|
|
(which represents
|
|
.Sq Li / )
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq Li \&%7E
|
|
(which represents
|
|
.Sq Li ~ ) .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The above interpretation has the following consequences:
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
The path is interpreted relative to the
|
|
default login directory of the specified user or of the
|
|
.Sq anonymous
|
|
user.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
directory is required, use a leading path of
|
|
.Dq %2F .
|
|
If a user's home directory is required (and the remote server supports
|
|
the syntax), use a leading path of
|
|
.Dq %7Euser/ .
|
|
For example, to retrieve
|
|
.Pa /etc/motd
|
|
from
|
|
.Sq localhost
|
|
as the user
|
|
.Sq myname
|
|
with the password
|
|
.Sq mypass ,
|
|
use
|

.Dq ftp://myname:mypass@localhost/%2fetc/motd
|
|
.It
|
|
The exact
|
|
.Ic cd
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic get
|
|
commands can be controlled by careful choice of
|
|
where to use
|
|
.Sq /
|
|
and where to use
|
|
.Sq %2F
|
|
(or
|
|
.Sq %2f ) .

For example, the following URLs correspond to the

equivalents of the indicated commands:

|
of
|
|
.Ar path .
|
|
Note that if a
|
|
.Tn HTTP
|
|
redirect is received, the fetch is retried using the new target URL
|
|
supplied by the server, with a corresponding new
|
|
.Ar path .
|
|
Using an explicit
|
|
.Fl o Ar output
|
|
is recommended, to avoid writing to unexpected file names.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a classic format or an
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
URL format has a trailing
|
|
.Sq /
|
|
or an empty
|
|
.Ar path
|
|
component, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will connect to the site and
|
|
.Ic cd
|
|
to the directory given as the path, and leave the user in interactive
|
|
mode ready for further input.
|
|
This will not work if
|
|
.Ic "set ftp_proxy"
|
|
is being used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Direct
|
|
.Tn HTTP
|
|
transfers use HTTP 1.1.
|
|
Proxied
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn HTTP
|
|
transfers use HTTP 1.0.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
is given, all auto-fetches that don't go via the
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
or
|
|
.Tn HTTP
|
|
proxies will be restarted.
|
|
For
|
|
.Tn FTP ,
|
|
this is implemented by using
|
|
.Nm reget
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Nm get .
|
|
For
|
|
.Tn HTTP ,
|
|
this is implemented by using the
|
|
.Sq "Range: bytes="
|
|
.Tn "HTTP/1.1"
|
|
directive.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If WWW or proxy WWW authentication is required, you will be prompted
|
|
to enter a username and password to authenticate with.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When specifying IPv6 numeric addresses in a URL, you need to
|
|
surround the address in square brackets.
|
|
E.g.:
|
|
.Dq ftp://[::1]:21/ .
|
|
This is because colons are used in IPv6 numeric address as well as
|
|
being the separator for the port number.
|
|
.Sh ABORTING A FILE TRANSFER
|
|
To abort a file transfer, use the terminal interrupt key
|
|
(usually Ctrl-C).
|
|
Sending transfers will be immediately halted.
|
|
Receiving transfers will be halted by sending an
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
protocol
|
|
.Dv ABOR
|
|
command to the remote server, and discarding any further data received.
|
|
The speed at which this is accomplished depends upon the remote
|
|
server's support for
|
|
.Dv ABOR
|
|
processing.
|
|
If the remote server does not support the
|
|
.Dv ABOR
|
|
command, the prompt will not appear until the remote server has completed
|
|
sending the requested file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the terminal interrupt key sequence is used whilst
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is awaiting a reply from the remote server for the ABOR processing,
|
|
then the connection will be closed.
|
|
This is different from the traditional behaviour (which ignores the
|
|
terminal interrupt during this phase), but is considered more useful.
|
|
.Sh FILE NAMING CONVENTIONS
|
|
Files specified as arguments to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
commands are processed according to the following rules.
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
If the file name
|
|
.Sq Fl
|
|
is specified, the
|
|
.Ar stdin
|
|
(for reading) or
|
|
.Ar stdout
|
|
(for writing) is used.
|
|
.It
|
|
If the first character of the file name is
|
|
.Sq \&| ,
|
|
the
|
|
remainder of the argument is interpreted as a shell command.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
then forks a shell, using
|
|
.Xr popen 3
|
|
with the argument supplied, and reads (writes) from the stdout
|
|
(stdin).
|
|
If the shell command includes spaces, the argument
|
|
must be quoted; e.g.
|
|
.Dq Qq Li \&| ls\ \-lt .
|
|
A particularly
|
|
useful example of this mechanism is:
|
|
.Dq Li dir \&"\&" \&|more .
|
|
.It
|
|
Failing the above checks, if
|
|
.Dq globbing
|
|
is enabled, local file names are expanded according to the rules
|
|
used in the
|
|
.Xr csh 1 ;
|
|
c.f. the
|
|
.Ic glob
|
|
command.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command expects a single local file (e.g.
|
|
.Ic put ) ,
|
|
only the first filename generated by the "globbing" operation is used.
|
|
.It
|
|
For
|
|
.Ic mget
|
|
commands and
|
|
.Ic get
|
|
commands with unspecified local file names, the local filename is
|
|
the remote filename, which may be altered by a
|
|
.Ic case ,
|
|
.Ic ntrans ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic nmap
|
|
setting.
|
|
The resulting filename may then be altered if
|
|
.Ic runique
|
|
is on.
|
|
.It
|
|
For
|
|
.Ic mput
|
|
commands and
|
|
.Ic put
|
|
commands with unspecified remote file names, the remote filename is
|
|
the local filename, which may be altered by a
|
|
.Ic ntrans
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic nmap
|
|
setting.
|
|
The resulting filename may then be altered by the remote server if
|
|
.Ic sunique
|
|
is on.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh FILE TRANSFER PARAMETERS
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
specification specifies many parameters which may affect a file transfer.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic type
|
|
may be one of
|
|
.Dq ascii ,
|
|
.Dq image
|
|
(binary),
|
|
.Dq ebcdic ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq local byte size
|
|
(for
|
|
.Tn PDP Ns -10's
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn PDP Ns -20's
|
|
mostly).
|
|
.Nm
|
|
supports the ascii and image types of file transfer,
|
|
plus local byte size 8 for
|
|
.Ic tenex
|
|
mode transfers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
supports only the default values for the remaining
|
|
file transfer parameters:
|
|
.Ic mode ,
|
|
.Ic form ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic struct .
|
|
.Sh THE .netrc FILE
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa .netrc
|
|
file contains login and initialization information
|
|
used by the auto-login process.
|
|
It resides in the user's home directory,
|
|
unless overridden with the
|
|
.Fl N Ar netrc
|
|
option, or specified in the
|
|
.Ev NETRC
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
The following tokens are recognized; they may be separated by spaces,
|
|
tabs, or new-lines:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width password
|
|
.It Ic machine Ar name
|
|
Identify a remote machine
|
|
.Ar name .
|
|
The auto-login process searches the
|
|
.Pa .netrc
|
|
file for a
|
|
.Ic machine
|
|
token that matches the remote machine specified on the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command line or as an
|
|
.Ic open
|
|
command argument.
|
|
Once a match is made, the subsequent
|
|
.Pa .netrc
|
|
tokens are processed,
|
|
stopping when the end of file is reached or another
|
|
.Ic machine
|
|
or a
|
|
.Ic default
|
|
token is encountered.
|
|
.It Ic default
|
|
This is the same as
|
|
.Ic machine
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
except that
|
|
.Ic default
|
|
matches any name.
|
|
There can be only one
|
|
.Ic default
|
|
token, and it must be after all
|
|
.Ic machine
|
|
tokens.
|
|
This is normally used as:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl default login anonymous password user@site
|
|
.Pp
|
|
thereby giving the user an automatic anonymous
|
|
.Tn FTP
|
|
login to
|
|
machines not specified in
|
|
.Pa .netrc .
|
|
This can be overridden
|
|
by using the
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
flag to disable auto-login.
|
|
.It Ic login Ar name
|
|
Identify a user on the remote machine.
|
|
If this token is present, the auto-login process will initiate
|
|
a login using the specified
|
|
.Ar name .
|
|
.It Ic password Ar string
|
|
Supply a password.
|
|
If this token is present, the auto-login process will supply the
|
|
specified string if the remote server requires a password as part
|
|
of the login process.
|
|
Note that if this token is present in the
|
|
.Pa .netrc
|
|
file for any user other
|
|
than
|
|
.Ar anonymous ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will abort the auto-login process if the
|
|
.Pa .netrc
|
|
is readable by
|
|
anyone besides the user.
|
|
.It Ic account Ar string
|
|
Supply an additional account password.
|
|
If this token is present, the auto-login process will supply the
|
|
specified string if the remote server requires an additional
|
|
account password, or the auto-login process will initiate an
|
|
.Dv ACCT
|
|
command if it does not.
|
|
.It Ic macdef Ar name
|
|
Define a macro.
|
|
This token functions like the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ic macdef
|
|
command functions.
|
|
A macro is defined with the specified name; its contents begin with the
|
|
next
|
|
.Pa .netrc
|
|
line and continue until a blank line (consecutive new-line
|
|
characters) is encountered.
|
|
Like the other tokens in the
|
|
.Pa .netrc
|
|
file, a
|
|
.Ic macdef
|
|
is applicable only to the
|
|
.Ic machine
|
|
definition preceding it.
|
|
A
|
|
.Ic macdef
|
|
entry cannot be utilized by multiple
|
|
.Ic machine
|
|
definitions; rather, it must be defined following each
|
|
.Ic machine
|
|
it is intended to be used with.
|
|
If a macro named
|
|
.Ic init
|
|
is defined, it is automatically executed as the last step in the
|
|
auto-login process.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
default
|
|
macdef init
|
|
epsv4 off
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
followed by a blank line.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh COMMAND LINE EDITING
|
|
.Nm
|
|
supports interactive command line editing, via the
|
|
.Xr editline 3
|
|
library.
|
|
It is enabled with the
|
|
.Ic edit
|
|
command, and is enabled by default if input is from a tty.
|
|
Previous lines can be recalled and edited with the arrow keys,
|
|
and other GNU Emacs-style editing keys may be used as well.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr editline 3
|
|
library is configured with a
|
|
.Pa .editrc
|
|
file - refer to
|
|
.Xr editrc 5
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An extra key binding is available to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to provide context sensitive command and filename completion
|
|
(including remote file completion).
|
|
To use this, bind a key to the
|
|
.Xr editline 3
|
|
command
|
|
.Ic ftp-complete .
|
|
By default, this is bound to the TAB key.
|
|
.Sh COMMAND LINE PROMPT
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays a command line prompt of
|
|
.Dq "ftp\*[Gt] "
|
|
to the user.
|
|
This can be changed with the
|
|
.Ic "set prompt"
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A prompt can be displayed on the right side of the screen (after the
|
|
command input) with the
|
|
.Ic "set rprompt"
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following formatting sequences are replaced by the given
|
|
information:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "%% " -offset indent
|
|
.It Li \&%/
|
|

|
|
The

command appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Various features such as command line editing, context sensitive
|
|
command and file completion, dynamic progress bar, automatic
|
|
fetching of files and URLs, modification time preservation,
|
|
transfer rate throttling, configurable command line prompt,
|
|
and other enhancements over the standard
|
|
.Bx
|
|
.Nm
|
|
were implemented in
|
|
.Nx 1.3
|
|
and later releases
|
|
by
|
|
.An Luke Mewburn
|
|
.Aq lukem@NetBSD.org .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.

|
.Po
|
|
IPv6 addresses with a form like
