My apologies for not getting in on the start of this thread but a solution is very easy - use ncftp, not ftp. ncftp, by default, enters in "anonymous" and your email address for username/password when it enters a site. Also, if you know the complete path of the file, you can enter it in URL format and ncftp will download it. Example: to download the file "app.tar.gz" from ftp.foo.com, type this:
ncftp <A HREF="ftp://ftp.foo.com/pub/app.tar.gz"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.foo.com/pub/app.tar.gz</A">ftp://ftp.foo.com/pub/app.tar.gz</A</A>>
and ncftp will download it for you. ncftp also has a great interactive mode . . . it is one of my favorite apps . . .
of course, it is included in the SuSE distro . . .

Upps, again. I think someone mentioned that, but I was _to much_ fixed on ftp to get the real Idea. ;-( Jürgen Anyway: this discussion shows the flexibility of Linux and it's supporters! -- ========================================== __ _ Jürgen Braukmann e-mail: brauki@cww.de | / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ========================================== /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
