I've just tried to do a recursive get on an ftp server. It didn't work
(and didn't show a warning either - it just failed silently).
The command I used was
get -R rt
Where rt was the name of the directory I wished to get.
The server in question claims to be:
FTP Server for NW 3.1x, 4.xx (v1.10), (c) 1994 HellSoft.
I've tried doing the same to a debian box, and it works fine, so it looks
like some interaction between ncftp and the netware ftp server - possibly
the netware server doesn't handle the command sent by ncftp (in which
case ncftp should ideally drop back to another method).
ws_ftp32 under win95 seems to have no problem getting the same directory
(and structure).

That's probably a problem with the format of directory listings. Have a
look at mirror, it has *lots* of code to parse diverse formats, still
needs to be configured, and still can't parse everything. (It does have
special code for Netware, which the above is, for example.)
Too bad there is no standard long listing format. As it is, it's not
solvable in the general case, you can only add lots of special case
solutions.
I dimly seem to remember there being some note about this in the ncftp
documentation, however ...

Oh dear - fair enough, I guess ws_ftp must have done it this way then.

I've not spotted it, but havn't been through it with a fine toothcomb.
I do think it would be useful if it printed a warning at runtime that it
didn't understand the directory listing format.

At the moment I have a fully Hamm system with some packages from
Slink.
Comments anyone?

"man 9term" appears to work, for me at least for me. It complains
that the man page doesn't exist, and not that it thinks you
haven't supplied the name of the man page.

probably can be closed as it is so old and looks like (to me)
it may not have been a debian problem anyway.

Should probably be reassigned to nvi. vim works ok for me. nvi
in slink has this problem.

Is this really a bug? The BTS doesn't have much information.

This seems to work here, but I haven't had any "disgraceful
disconnects" so I can't really comment. I strongly suspect
the problem was a kernel bug, hence this bug can probably
be closed.

If this problem still exists, it probably should be downgraded
to "wishlist" and relabeled "ncftp recursive gets should work
with netware ftp server" (or similar).

fdformat is no longer part of fdutils (as far as I know; it
has been replaced with superformat), I think this bug should be
closed.

Subject: ncftp can't do recursive get
Message-ID:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Package: ncftp
Version: 2.4.2-1
I've just tried to do a recursive get on an ftp server. It didn't work
(and didn't show a warning either - it just failed silently).
The command I used was
get -R rt
Where rt was the name of the directory I wished to get.
The server in question claims to be:
FTP Server for NW 3.1x, 4.xx (v1.10), (c) 1994 HellSoft.
I've tried doing the same to a debian box, and it works fine, so it looks
like some interaction between ncftp and the netware ftp server - possibly
the netware server doesn't handle the command sent by ncftp (in which
case ncftp should ideally drop back to another method).
ws_ftp32 under win95 seems to have no problem getting the same directory
(and structure).
