[opensuse] gftp of opensuse sources
I am using the version of gftp that is a component of 3.2. When try to access the opensuse source at: http://download.opensuse.org /source/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/suse/src I receive a directory listing, with some file lengths listed as zero. When I try to download the files using HTTP I get: HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2015 23:21:32 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.12 (Linux/SUSE) X-Prefix: 71.228.144.0/20 X-AS: 33653 X-MirrorBrain-Mirror: suse.mobile-central.org X-MirrorBrain-Realm: country Location: http://suse.mobile-central.org/source/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/suse/src/zz... Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Disconnecting from site download.opensuse.org Error: Remote site download.opensuse.org disconnected. Max retries reached...giving up I have not done this in awhile, and it used to be from ftp sites. Can you help me with what I am doing wrong? Is it because the file content is not text? I know I can download files using a browser. I thought this would be similar. How does one set up gftp to access these sites? Thanks, and sorry if a dumb question.

At least with a browser nothing looks zero length: http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/suse/src/?C=S... That is sorted by size, so zero length would be first. I would use wget if there are just a few you want. This works for me as an example: wget http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/suse/src/4ti2... If you want them all you could rsync that directory to your local pc. I find it much more useful that all of the sources are in OBS (build.opensuse.org) .I prefer to work with the packages via OBS and osc (the command line interface to OBS). As an example the 4ti2 package for 13.2 is at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:13.2/4ti2 Or you can find an index of all the 13.2 packages at: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:13.2 Hope that helps Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Greg, I tried to use rsync as you suggested, but do not have any experience with rsync and an http: port. I am trying to learn more about the structure of this stuff, but would you please supply an example updating a directory src. All of the rsync's I have done to remote machines have been via ssh to a machine name.

Sorry Don, I wasn't very informative. The content of the download server is mirrored to a rsync server so you pull it down in large chunks. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirror_infrastructure#Rsync_servers You would use the rsync protocol, not ssh. I haven't ever done it but I found this example command in an list serve email: rsync -rlpt rsync.opensuse.org::buildservice-repos/home:/EmmeG:/LARAL/ I used this search engine: http://opensuse.markmail.org/search/?q=rsync.opensuse.org Greg -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

Don, Here is one line from a script I run to sync folders between my desktop and a file server. I run the script from my home folder: rsync -varP --stats Puzzles/ pc5:/home/ken/Puzzles/ HTH -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Greg, Your link to the download server mirrors was great for me:-) I found a coupe of the sites that provide ftp access, so gftp will work for me again. updates with gftp are so easy, I don't understand the need for the other tools. But I am an old timer:-) Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Glad it helped. I guess you found this list: http://mirrors.opensuse.org/ Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
