Batchftp is a C program which automates the ftp process on Berkeley
|
|
UNIX systems. A user is able to upload and download files from almost
|
|
any remote computer without monitoring the transfer. A user simply
|
|
enters the commands or files to be retrieved in an input file. Then,
|
|
the program will log onto the specified computer (not necessarily a
|
|
ftp site) and execute the given commands. Since Batchftp can run in
|
|
the background, a user is free to do other things while the transfer
|
|
sessions are taking place. More importantly, it will not give up until
|
|
a successful connection has been established with the remote
|
|
site. However, execution will be temporarily suspended after a given
|
|
number of failures; connection attempts will resume after the extended
|
|
delay.
