Mon Apr 25 13:37:00 UTC 2011 Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released! Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team, the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing a great forum for collaboration and testing. The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription. As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions, and feedback. :-) Have fun!

|
|
|
|
<p>FTP stands for the File Transfer Protocol. It allows you to send and receive files
|
|
between two computers. There is the FTP server and the FTP client. We discuss the client
|
|
in this section.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For the curious, the “client” is you. The “server” is the
|
|
computer that answers your FTP request and lets you login. You will download files from
|
|
and upload files to the server. The client cannot accept FTP connections, it can only
|
|
connect to servers.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="SECT2">
|
|
<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN4871" name="AEN4871">13.9.1 <tt
|
|
class="COMMAND">ftp</tt></a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>To connect to an FTP server, simply run the <tt class="COMMAND">ftp</tt>(1) command
|
|
and specify the host:</p>
|
|
|
|
<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>
|
|
<pre class="SCREEN">
|
|
<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">ftp <hostname> [port]</kbd>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the host is running an FTP server, it will ask for a username and password. You can
|
|
log in as yourself or as “anonymous”. Anonymous FTP sites are very popular
|
|
for software archives. For example, to get Slackware Linux via FTP, you must use
|
|
anonymous FTP.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once connected, you will be at the <var class="LITERAL">ftp></var> prompt. There
|
|
are special commands for FTP, but they are similar to other standard commands. The
|
|
following shows some of the basic commands and what they do:</p>

<p>You can also use some of the following commands which are quite self-explanatory: <tt
|
|
class="COMMAND">chmod</tt>, <tt class="COMMAND">delete</tt>, <tt
|
|
class="COMMAND">rename</tt>, <tt class="COMMAND">rmdir</tt>. For a complete list of all
|
|
commands and their meaning, just type <kbd class="USERINPUT">help</kbd> or <kbd
|
|
class="USERINPUT">?</kbd> and you'll see a complete listing on screen.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>FTP is a fairly simple program to use, but lacks the user interface that many of us
|
|
are used to nowadays. The man page discusses some of the command line options for <tt
|
|
class="COMMAND">ftp</tt>(1).</p>

<p><tt class="COMMAND">ncftp</tt>(1) (pronounced "Nik-F-T-P") is an alternative to the
|
|
traditional ftp client that comes with Slackware. It is still a text-based program, but
|
|
offers many advantages over <tt class="COMMAND">ftp</tt>, including:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Tab completion</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Bookmarks file</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>More liberal wildcard uses</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Command history</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>By default, <tt class="COMMAND">ncftp</tt> will try to log in anonymously to the
|
|
server you specify. You can force <tt class="COMMAND">ncftp</tt> to present a login
|
|
prompt with the “<var class="OPTION">-u</var>” option. Once logged in, you
|
|
can use the same commands as in <tt class="COMMAND">ftp</tt>, only you'll notice a nicer
|
|
interface, one that works more like <tt class="COMMAND">bash</tt>.</p>
