Hi, all I'm being hit yet again by a time-change issue I have every year when the local time changes from daylight savings time to standard time. I mirror some of the SuSE Linux ftp subtrees (e.g., ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/). I've been using "ncftpget -RT <URL>" to do the downloads, which works just fine until the time changes (as it did at 02:00 this morning). After the time change, ncftpget insists on downloading EVERYTHING again! This time the timestamps on the files are one hour different than they had been (accounted to the time change). Anyone know of a good, scriptable (i.e., command line) ftp downloader that doesn't err in this way? I'm soooo confused about timestamps on ftp sites anyway. Are they supposed to be in GMT or local time? And should the ftp client program convert the timestamps to/from GMT or local time or leave them alone??? Arrrggghh! I was downloading SuSE Linux 8.1 until I hit a snag and had to kill my ftp client. When I restarted it, it started back at the very beginning!?! And it will attempt to re-download everything else that I've downloaded since the last time change last spring (provided, of course, it is still on the ftp server!). Any ideas would be muchly appreciated. Thanks! Phil -- Philip Amadeo Saeli SuSE Linux 8.0 psaeli@zorodyne.com
