FTP: download - unable to list directory content   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #798 of 988 |
Hi,

I'm a new pavuk user, and as usual am up against the learning curve. I
want to sync an ftp site (basically going from my file server to a
backup server), with incremental backups daily. (Both servers are on
my 192.168.0 subnet.)

I looked at message #167
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pavuk/message/167), which helped a lot,
but I'm still stuck at the beginning.

I run this command:
pavuk -ftpdir -noftphtml -nostore_index ftp://user:password@192.168.0.nnn/

and get this error:
download: ERROR: unable to list directory content

However, I can issue the command
"ftp ftp://user:password@192.168.0.nnn/" successfully, and then do
typical ftp stuff like "dir" and "get". So why can't pavuk list the
directory?

If I could get past this, I think my scenario and authentication files
would work. Can you help shed some light on this?

Thanks much

Brad

I answered my question by changing strategies. Using a shell script, I'm using mount_smbfs to just mount the file server shares on my BSD server, then copying...
