Otherwise, this command is identical to + _g_e_t. + + nnlliisstt [_r_e_m_o_t_e_-_p_a_t_h [_l_o_c_a_l_-_f_i_l_e]] + A synonym for llss. + + nnmmaapp [_i_n_p_a_t_t_e_r_n _o_u_t_p_a_t_t_e_r_n] + 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 + mmppuutt commands and ppuutt commands issued without a specified re- + mote target filename. If arguments are specified, local + filenames are mapped during mmggeett commands and ggeett commands + issued without a specified local target filename. This com- + mand is useful when connecting to a non-UNIX remote computer + with different file naming conventions or practices. The + mapping follows the pattern set by _i_n_p_a_t_t_e_r_n and _o_u_t_p_a_t_t_e_r_n. + [_I_n_p_a_t_t_e_r_n] is a template for incoming filenames (which may + have already been processed according to the nnttrraannss and ccaassee + settings). Variable templating is accomplished by including + the sequences `$1', `$2', ..., `$9' in _i_n_p_a_t_t_e_r_n. Use `\' to + prevent this special treatment of the `$' character. All + other characters are treated literally, and are used to de- + termine the nnmmaapp [_i_n_p_a_t_t_e_r_n] variable values. For example, + given _i_n_p_a_t_t_e_r_n $1.$2 and the remote file name "mydata.data", + $1 would have the value "mydata", and $2 would have the value + "data". The _o_u_t_p_a_t_t_e_r_n determines the resulting mapped file- + name. The sequences `$1', `$2', ...., `$9' are replaced by + any value resulting from the _i_n_p_a_t_t_e_r_n template. The se- + quence `$0' is replace by the original filename. Additional- + ly, the sequence `[_s_e_q_1, _s_e_q_2]' is replaced by [_s_e_q_1] if _s_e_q_1 + is not a null string; otherwise it is replaced by _s_e_q_2. For + example, the command + + nmap $1.$2.$3 [$1,$2].[$2,file] + + would yield the output filename "myfile.data" for input file- + names "myfile.data" and "myfile.data.old", "myfile.file" for + the input filename "myfile", and "myfile.myfile" for the in- + put filename ".myfile". Spaces may be included in + _o_u_t_p_a_t_t_e_r_n, as in the example: `nmap $1 sed "s/ *$//" > $1' + . Use the `\' character to prevent special treatment of the + `$','[',']', and `,' characters. + + nnttrraannss [_i_n_c_h_a_r_s [_o_u_t_c_h_a_r_s]] + Set or unset the filename character translation mechanism. + If no arguments are specified, the filename character trans- + lation mechanism is unset. If arguments are specified, char- + acters in remote filenames are translated during mmppuutt com- + mands and ppuutt commands issued without a specified remote tar- + get filename. If arguments are specified, characters in lo- + cal filenames are translated during mmggeett commands and ggeett + commands issued without a specified local target filename. + This command is useful when connecting to a non-UNIX remote + computer with different file naming conventions or practices. + Characters in a filename matching a character in _i_n_c_h_a_r_s are + replaced with the corresponding character in _o_u_t_c_h_a_r_s.

Otherwise, the full remote name is + used as the local name, relative to the local root directory. + + ftp://[_u_s_e_r[:_p_a_s_s_w_o_r_d]@]_h_o_s_t[:_p_o_r_t]/_p_a_t_h[/][;type=_X] + An FTP URL, retrieved using the FTP protocol if sseett ffttpp__pprrooxxyy isn't + defined. Otherwise, transfer the URL using HTTP via the proxy de- + fined in sseett ffttpp__pprrooxxyy. If sseett ffttpp__pprrooxxyy isn't defined and _u_s_e_r is + given, login as _u_s_e_r. In this case, use _p_a_s_s_w_o_r_d if supplied, oth- + erwise prompt the user for one. + + If a suffix of `;type=A' or `;type=I' is supplied, then the trans- + fer type will take place as ascii or binary (respectively). The + default transfer type is binary. + + In order to be compliant with RRFFCC 11773388, ffttpp interprets the _p_a_t_h + part of an ``ftp://'' auto-fetch URL as follows: + + ++oo The `/' immediately after the _h_o_s_t[:_p_o_r_t] is interpreted as a + separator before the _p_a_t_h, and not as part of the _p_a_t_h itself. + + ++oo The _p_a_t_h is interpreted as a `/'-separated list of name compo- + nents. For all but the last such component, ffttpp performs the + equivalent of a ccdd command. For the last path component, ffttpp + performs the equivalent of a ggeett command. + + ++oo Empty name components, which result from `//' within the _p_a_t_h, + or from an extra `/' at the beginning of the _p_a_t_h, will cause + the equivalent of a ccdd command without a directory name. This + is unlikely to be useful. + + ++oo Any `%_X_X' codes within the path components are decoded, with _X_X + representing a character code in hexadecimal. This decoding + takes place after the _p_a_t_h has been split into components, but + before each component is used in the equivalent of a ccdd or ggeett + command. Some often-used codes are `%2F' (which represents + `/') and `%7E' (which represents `~'). + + The above interpretation has the following consequences: + + ++oo The path is interpreted relative to the default login directory + of the specified user or of the `anonymous' user. If the _/ di- + rectory is required, use a leading path of ``%2F''. If a us- + er's home directory is required (and the remote server supports + the syntax), use a leading path of ``%7Euser/''. For example, + to retrieve _/_e_t_c_/_m_o_t_d from `localhost' as the user `myname' + with the password `mypass', use + ``ftp://myname:mypass@localhost/%2fetc/motd'' + + ++oo The exact ccdd and ggeett commands can be controlled by careful + choice of where to use `/' and where to use `%2F' (or `%2f'). + For example, the following URLs correspond to the equivalents + of the indicated commands: + + ftp://host/dir1/dir2/file ``cd dir1'', ``cd dir2'', + ``get file''. + + ftp://host/%2Fdir1/dir2/file ``cd /dir1'', ``cd dir2'', + ``get file''. + + ftp://host/dir1%2Fdir2/file ``cd dir1/dir2'', ``get + file''. + + ftp://host/%2Fdir1%2Fdir2/file ``cd /dir1/dir2'', ``get + file''. + + ftp://host/dir1%2Fdir2%2Ffile ``get dir1/dir2/file''. + + ftp://host/%2Fdir1%2Fdir2%2Ffile ``get /dir1/dir2/file''. + + ++oo You must have appropriate access permission for each of the in- + termediate directories that is used in the equivalent of a ccdd + command. + + http://[_u_s_e_r[:_p_a_s_s_w_o_r_d]@]_h_o_s_t[:_p_o_r_t]/_p_a_t_h + An HTTP URL, retrieved using the HTTP protocol. If sseett hhttttpp__pprrooxxyy + is defined, it is used as a URL to an HTTP proxy server. If HTTP + authorization is required to retrieve _p_a_t_h, and `user' (and option- + ally `password') is in the URL, use them for the first attempt to + authenticate. + + file:///_p_a_t_h + A local URL, copied from _/_p_a_t_h on the local host. + + Unless noted otherwise above, and --oo _o_u_t_p_u_t is not given, the file is + stored in the current directory as the basename(1) of _p_a_t_h. + + If a classic format or an FTP URL format has a trailing `/' or an empty + _p_a_t_h component, then ffttpp will connect to the site and ccdd to the directory + given as the path, and leave the user in interactive mode ready for fur- + ther input. This will not work if sseett ffttpp__pprrooxxyy is being used. + + Direct HTTP transfers use HTTP 1.1. Proxied FTP and HTTP transfers use + HTTP 1.0. + + If --RR is given, all auto-fetches that don't go via the FTP or HTTP prox- + ies will be restarted. For FTP, this is implemented by using rreeggeett in- + stead of ggeett. For HTTP, this is implemented by using the `Range: bytes=' + HTTP/1.1 directive. + + If WWW or proxy WWW authentication is required, you will be prompted to + enter a username and password to authenticate with. + + When specifying IPv6 numeric addresses in a URL, you need to surround the + address in square brackets. E.g.: ``ftp://[::1]:21/''. This is because + colons are used in IPv6 numeric address as well as being the separator + for the port number. + +AABBOORRTTIINNGG AA FFIILLEE TTRRAANNSSFFEERR + 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 FTP protocol 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 ABOR + processing. If the remote server does not support the ABOR command, the + prompt will not appear until the remote server has completed sending the + requested file. + + If the terminal interrupt key sequence is used whilst ffttpp 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. + +FFIILLEE NNAAMMIINNGG CCOONNVVEENNTTIIOONNSS + Files specified as arguments to ffttpp commands are processed according to + the following rules. + + 1. If the file name `--' is specified, the _s_t_d_i_n (for reading) or _s_t_d_o_u_t + (for writing) is used. + + 2. If the first character of the file name is `|', the remainder of the + argument is interpreted as a shell command. ffttpp then forks a shell, + using popen(3) with the argument supplied, and reads (writes) from + the stdout (stdin). If the shell command includes spaces, the argu- + ment must be quoted; e.g. ``"| ls -lt"''. A particularly useful + example of this mechanism is: ``dir "" |more''. + + 3. Failing the above checks, if ``globbing'' is enabled, local file + names are expanded according to the rules used in the csh(1); c.f. + the gglloobb command. If the ffttpp command expects a single local file + (e.g. ppuutt), only the first filename generated by the "globbing" op- + eration is used. + + 4. For mmggeett commands and ggeett commands with unspecified local file + names, the local filename is the remote filename, which may be al- + tered by a ccaassee, nnttrraannss, or nnmmaapp setting. The resulting filename + may then be altered if rruunniiqquuee is on. + + 5. For mmppuutt commands and ppuutt commands with unspecified remote file + names, the remote filename is the local filename, which may be al- + tered by a nnttrraannss or nnmmaapp setting. The resulting filename may then + be altered by the remote server if ssuunniiqquuee is on. + +FFIILLEE TTRRAANNSSFFEERR PPAARRAAMMEETTEERRSS + The FTP specification specifies many parameters which may affect a file + transfer. The ttyyppee may be one of ``ascii'', ``image'' (binary), + ``ebcdic'', and ``local byte size'' (for PDP-10's and PDP-20's mostly). + ffttpp supports the ascii and image types of file transfer, plus local byte + size 8 for tteenneexx mode transfers. + + ffttpp supports only the default values for the remaining file transfer pa- + rameters: mmooddee, ffoorrmm, and ssttrruucctt. + +TTHHEE ..nneettrrcc FFIILLEE + The _._n_e_t_r_c file contains login and initialization information used by the + auto-login process.

The following tokens are recognized; they may be separat- + ed by spaces, tabs, or new-lines: + + mmaacchhiinnee _n_a_m_e + Identify a remote machine _n_a_m_e. The auto-login process search- + es the _._n_e_t_r_c file for a mmaacchhiinnee token that matches the remote + machine specified on the ffttpp command line or as an ooppeenn command + argument.

This correction may result in incor- + rect transfers of binary files to and from 4.2BSD servers using the ascii + type. Avoid this problem by using the binary image type. + + ffttpp assumes that all IPv4 mapped addresses (IPv6 addresses with a form + like ::ffff:10.1.1.1) indicate IPv4 destinations which can be handled by + AF_INET sockets. However, in certain IPv6 network configurations, this + assumption is not true. In such an environment, IPv4 mapped addresses + must be passed to AF_INET6 sockets directly. For example, if your site + uses a SIIT translator for IPv6-to-IPv4 translation, ffttpp is unable to + support your configuration. + +NetBSD 1.6 July 31, 2003 NetBSD 1.6 |
