WHAT IS LUKEMFTP?
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`lukemftp' is what many users affectionately call the enhanced ftp
|
||
|
|
client in NetBSD (http://www.netbsd.org). The `lukem' comes from
|
||
|
|
the account name of the NetBSD developer who wrote most of the
|
||
|
|
enhancements: Luke Mewburn <lukem@netbsd.org>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package is a `port' of the NetBSD ftp client to other systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The enhancements over the standard ftp client in 4.4BSD (and
|
||
|
|
derivatives) include:
|
||
|
|
* command-line editing within ftp
|
||
|
|
* command-line fetching of URLS, including support for:
|
||
|
|
- http proxies (c.f: $http_proxy, $ftp_proxy)
|
||
|
|
- authentication
|
||
|
|
* configurable prompt
|
||
|
|
* context sensitive command and filename completion
|
||
|
|
* dynamic progress bar
|
||
|
|
* feature negotiation extensions from RFC 2389
|
||
|
|
(c.f: `feat' and `remopts')
|
||
|
|
* extensions to ftp from the IETF ftpext working group
|
||
|
|
(c.f: `mlsd' and `mlst')
|
||
|
|
* IPv6 support (from the WIDE project)
|
||
|
|
* modification time preservation
|
||
|
|
* paging of local and remote files, and of directory listings
|
||
|
|
(c.f: `lpage', `page', `pdir')
|
||
|
|
* passive mode support, with fallback to active mode
|
||
|
|
* retrieval of filenames listed in a given file (c.f: `fget')
|
||
|
|
* `set option' override of ftp environment variables
|
||
|
|
* socks4/socks5 support
|
||
|
|
* TIS Firewall Toolkit gate ftp proxy support (c.f: `gate')
|
||
|
|
* transfer-rate throttling (c.f: `-T', `rate')
|
||
|
|
* uploading of files on the command line (c.f: `-u')
