ftpls(1) General Commands Manual ftpls(1) ftpls - generate a ftp directory listing SYNOPSIS
ftpls ftp://host[:port]/directory or ftpls host[:post] /directory DESCRIPTION
ftpls generates a listing of files and directories in a FTP directory. ftpls by default prints a human readable ascii output, but may also create HTML and machine parsable output. OPTIONS
Login options -u, --user=NAME Use NAME to login on the ftp server. Note that this option overrides an user name given in an URL. The default is `anonymous'. Use an empty name to force to not log in. -p, --pass=PASSWORD Use PASS as password to login on the ftp server. Note that this option overrides a password given in an URL. The default is `anonymous@invalid.example'. Use an empty password to enforce not sending any password. --account=ACCOUNT Send ACCOUNT as the account name using the ACCT ftp command if the ftp servers asks for one. ACCOUNT in ftp speak is some kind of sub account in some other terminologies. If you don't understand what it means you have a good chance to never need this option anyway. If you think you need it please try the -u option first. --tries=NUMBER Number of tries to connect and log in. The default is 1, meaning that ftpls will give up after the first error. --login-sleep=NUMBER ftpls will sleep for NUMBER seconds after a try to connect or login has failed. The default is 5, a zero is treated as one, and abuse (especially together with --tries) is likely to annoy the server administrator. This option was added in version 0.4.5. Output mode options -h, --html Create HTML index containing all files together with modification time and size. Note: The links in this index will contain username and password if you include them into an URL given to ftpls on the command line (either as argument or through the --urlprefix option). They will not be included otherwise, for security and privacy reasons. -m, --machine Create machine parsable output. -t, --title=TEXT Title text to use on the HTML output. -U, --urlprefix=URL URL-Prefix to use in listings. If this option is not given then an URL given on the command line will be used instead, and if this has not been given an URL will be created from host, port and directory given on the command line. --print-dir Print the name of a sub directory before printing it's content. Do not print the name of the top level directory of the listing. Use this option together with --raw. Do not use it together with --html. SORTING -a, --alpha sort alphabetical. -z, --omega sort reverse alphabetical. -n, --newest sort youngest first. -o, --oldest sort oldest first. -s, --shortest sort shortest first. -l, --longest sort longest first. Other options --ascii-listings Do directory listings in ASCII mode instead of binary mode. Use this option if the FTP server is unable to correctly list directories in binary mode, for example, if you see a message like this: ftpls: failed to read directory listing: protocol error This option was added in version 0.5.2. -L, --list-options=OPTS Add OPTS to LIST command. This allows to pass arbitrary options to the FTP servers LIST command. Note that ftpls does not cope well with recursive directory listings. --interactive ftpls will read the directories to be listed from the standard input. Any remote directory given on the command line will be ignored. Each directory listing is terminated by a END-OF-LISTING line. Do not use this together with the --html option. This option was added in version 0.3.6. -R, --recursive Do a recursive directory listing by first printing one directory, including sub directory names, and then traversing into sub directories. --raw Output directory listings in the original format and sort order. -T, --timeout=SECONDS Timeout to use for network read/write and connect operations. The default is 30 seconds and is usually sufficient. This option was added in version 0.3.8. --force-select Do not use the poll() system call even if it's available, but use select(). This allows ftpls to be used together with the runsocks program from the socks5 reference implementation. Please note that you'll need a directly reachable name server anyway, as the DNS library in use does not support SOCKS (you can always use IP addresses). This option was added in version 0.3.8. --max-depth Descend at most LEVEL directories deep. 0 means do not enter sub directories at all, 1 means enter sub-directories, but not their sub-directories, and so on. This option enables the --recursive option, too. The default is 2^32-1, meaning enter all. This option was added in version 0.5.2. EXAMPLES
