ftp101 --- An FTP client program for Minix 2.0
written by Michael Temari <Michael@TemWare.Com> release 1.01a 2006-06-07
Full download: <a href="/pub/contrib/ftp101.tar.Z">ftp101.tar.Z</a>
FTP is the File Transfer Protocol client that allows you to connect to
a remote FTP server.
This version should work equally well with Minix 2 and Minix 3.
Release 1.01a 2006-06-07: minor documentation edits
Release 1.01 2005-02-07: minor bug fix
Release 1.00 2003-12-14: added "ver" command to display current version
and an ftp(1) man page.
Installation: unpack the tarball, it will create an ftp101 directory. Although
this is a replacement for the ftp client provided in the Minix 2.0.0 and later
distributions, it is suggested you unpack and compile in the /usr/local/src
directory.
zcat < ftp101.tar.Z | tar xvfp -
Invoking make -n will show you what the Makefile will do.
make (or make ftp) compiles a new ftp binary, leaving it in the source
directory.
make install compiles the binary and installs it in /usr/bin.
make installman installs the man page in /usr/local/man/man1. The
directory must exist.
Note: there is a bug in the version of the ftp client distributed with
Minix 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 that causes a \r (0xd) character to be appended
to file names in the destination directory when files are downloaded in
binary mode using the mget command. The bug was corrected in a release
prior to 1.00.
