Hello Everybody,
I want to download packages from ftp-servers. (i.e. ftp.suse.com) in batch mode. I have tried "ftp <command.file" but I can't get past the user/password request. when I press return on the keyboard, the job continues running.
I do not like to set the alarm clock to 2am (phone company charges less then), when "at" can handle this much better.
Ideas?
Jürgen
ps: i know about "rpm -U ...", works fine, but I want the package for the second system as well.
Hi Juergen! Looking in my SuSE manual it says to login as ftp. When I want to d/l anything there I use Midnight Commander with "cd <A HREF="ftp@ftp.suse.de">ftp://ftp@ftp.suse.de</A>">ftp@ftp.suse.de</A">ftp://ftp@ftp.suse.de</A</A>>" this lets me do what ever I want. I'll admit that I've not tried batch file d/l'ing so I don't know if this is what you want. I hope this helps!
