How to download X bytes from a file using ftp or http?
Hi,
I have a simple ftp shell script which can download the entire file, however I want to know if there is anyway that I can download only the partial content, say X bytes from a file. If so, how I can do it using ftp and http..
Here is my sample script
#!/bin/sh
HOST='xyz.com'
USER='anonymous'
PASSWD='xxxxx'
/usr/bin/ftp -v -n $HOST << _FTP
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
bin
prompt off
cd <dir>
get <remote-filename> <local-filename>
bye

LEARN ABOUT OPENSOLARIS
shells
shells(4) File Formats shells(4)
NAME
shells - shell database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells
DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.
A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
/bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
/usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.
Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
