I recently installed LaTeX on my linux machine and I attempted to add a directory to the PATH as the instructions say to do. They tell me to give the following command:
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux:$PATH; export PATH After I do this I can use commands such as "pdflatex" anywhere,... (5 Replies)
how to connect to ftp server in passive mode?
ftp server.abc
and how can i see ftp settings, doesn't exist some ftpd.conf

Thanks (3 Replies)
What is the significance of the forward slash(/) while specifying a directory?
cp -av /dir/ /opt/
and
cp -av /dir /opt
Does effectively the same job it seems? (2 Replies)
Hi all,
I need to know way of inserting backward slash before forward slash. My problem is that i need to supply directory path as an argument while invoking cshell script. This argument is further used in script (i.e. sed is used to insert this path in some file). So i need to place \ in front... (2 Replies)

ftp-upload - batch transfer local files to an FTP server
SYNOPSIS
ftp-upload [any-switch]... {[repeatable-switch]... file...}...
DESCRIPTION
ftp-upload is used to send local files to an FTP server. It isn't interactive, it's meant to be used from scripts. It is disciplined
about its exit value and it doesn't output informational messages by default.
There are two kinds of switches. Initial switches have to appear before any filenames, they affect the session as a whole. Repeatable
switches can appear interspersed with the file names, they affect the transfer of the files which appear after them on the command line.
OPTIONS
Initial switches
These have to be used before any file names listed on the command line.
--debug
Turn debugging on.
--help
Show the usage message and die.
--ignore-quit-failure
Don't complain or set a failure exit code just because the QUIT command fails. This can be necessary because some servers, in blatant
disregard of RFC 959, close the command channel when you send them an ABOR command.
-v, --verbose
Print informational messages to stdout.
--version
Show the version number and exit.
Initial switches which specify connection information
These also have to be used before any file names listed on the command line. They specify the information used to set up the FTP connec-
tion.
--account account
This specifies the account to be used when logging into the remote system. This is distinct from the user name used to log in. Few
systems need this. There is no default.
-h, --host host
Specify the host to which to connect. There is no default, you have to specify this switch.
--passive
Force the use of passive (PASV) transfers. Passive transfers are required with some firewall configurations, but if you have such
you'd do better to configure Net::FTP so that it knows when to use them (see Net::Config). If you need to use passive transfers with
certain (broken) servers, however, this switch is your best bet. Alternatively, you can set $FTP_PASSIVE to 1 in the environment (see
Net::FTP).
--password pw
This gives the password which will be used to login. The default is your email address.
Note that you should not specify a real (secret) password this way, as on most systems anybody on the machine can see the arguments you
pass to your commands. Use one of other password-setting switches instead.
-s, --password-stdin
This tells ftp-upload to read the password from standard input. No prompt will be printed, and a single line will be read. Most peo-
ple will use this switch to specify the password. Eg,
echo 3x9sjJJh | ftp-upload -sh $host -u $user $file
Using echo this way is safe where the --password switch isn't if the echo command is built in to the shell.
--password-fd fd
This is like --password-stdin except that it reads the password from the file descriptor numbered fd.
ftp-upload -h $host -u $user --password-fd=3 3<$pw_file $file
-u, --user user
Specify the user name to use when logging in. The default is "anonymous".
Repeatable switches
These switches can be used anywhere on the command line (except after the last file name). They affect the transfer of files listed after
them.
--as remote-name
Normally a file is transferred using the same name it has locally. If you use this switch the next file transferred will be called
remote-name on the other host instead.
ftp-upload --host $host --as index.htm index.html
-a, --ascii
Perform transfers in ASCII mode.
-b, --binary
Perform transfers in binary mode. This is the default.
-d, --dir dir
Change directory to dir on the FTP server before continuing. You can use this multiple times between files, ftp-upload will chdir once
for each time you specify it. Using ".." as the dir will cause an FTP "CDUP" to be done rather than a "CWD".
--full-path
Normally uploaded files go into the current directory on the remote host, even when the local file name given contains slashes. Eg, if
you say
ftp-upload -h $host /etc/motd
ftp-upload will upload the file as motd, not /etc/motd. This differs from how the standard ftp program works, and it also differs with
how ftp-upload worked before version 1.3.
If you specify --full-path, you'll get the other behavior. A request to upload dir/file will tell the server to store dir/file rather
than file.
When you use --as the --full-path setting doesn't matter. --full-path only tells the program what name to use when it's choosing the
name.
--no-full-path
Disable --full-path. This is the default.
-l, --ls
Try to get a remote directory listing of files after transferring them. I say "try" because there's no guaranteed way to do this with
the FTP protocol. The command I run is "LIST file". This will generally work if file doesn't contain any special characters.
-L, --no-ls
Disable the --ls behavior.
--tmp-none
Transfer files directly, don't do anything special to try to ensure that they don't appear under their real names on the remote machine
until the transfer is finished. Each file is transferred with a single simple "STOR". This is the default.
--tmp-samedir
Transfer files to the remote machine using a temporary name, then rename them when the transfer finishes. This won't work if the
remote server doesn't give a recognizable response to the "STOU" command.
If the server's response to "STOU" isn't recognized by Net::FTP but is reasonable, Graham Barr might be willing to change Net::FTP to
recognize it. If you like you can send the "--debug" output to me and I'll coordinate such requests.
--tmp-dir dir
Transfer files to dir on the remote host, then rename them when the transfer is complete. This is safer than --tmp-samedir because it
doesn't use "STOU" and so it works with more servers.
ftp-upload -h $host --tmp-dir incoming $file
--tmp-format fmt
Transfer files to "sprintf(fmt, file base name)", then rename them when the transfer is complete. Like --tmp-dir, this is safer than
--tmp-samedir because it doesn't use "STOU" and so it works with more servers.
ftp-upload -h $host --tmp-format tmp.%s $file
