Upon request here some examples on how to use wput:
General Usage
=============
To transfer file 'test.txt' anonymously to ftp.somewhere.org:
wput ftp://ftp.somewhere.org/test.txt
OR
wput test.txt ftp://ftp.somewhere.org/
Or if you like to upload the file with a different filename:
wput test.txt ftp://ftp.somewhere.org/othername.txt
If you are in /home/user and a file /home/user/example/test.txt
exists, you can do:
wput ftp://ftp.somewhere.org/some_folder/example/test.txt
And wput will transfer test.txt there.
But if /home/user/some_folder/example/test.txt exists, wput will prefer these.
Using username: hell and password: heaven, you transfer:
wput ftp://hell:heaven@ftp.somewhere.org/test.txt
wput is not capable of asking you for the password, but if you do not
want to type the password on the commandline, you can use a passwordfile
to store these data (see wputrc and passwordfile for reference).
To upload a complete directory you use wput just as if you were
going to upload files:
wput directory/ ftp://ftp.somewhere.org/
which will create ftp://ftp.somewhere.org/directory/[files]
See also USAGE.urlhandling
Specific Tasks
==============
To transfer only the files that changed within the last 10 minutes, use:
find -cmin -10 ! -type d | wput -i - ftp://ftp.somewhere.org/
Be aware of the "! -type d" flag, that will exclude the output of directories,
because if a directory is supplied by find, wput would upload the whole
directory.
To upload only files that are newer than remote, use:
wput --timestamping --reupload --dont-continue ftp://ftp.somewhere.org/ dir/
(the --timestamping-flag is described in the manpage)
To tar directly to a remote url, you can use the --input-pipe flag:
tar cz directory | wput --input-pipe "cat; echo > /dev/null" ftp://host/file.tar.gz
The echo > /dev/null is necessary, because wput passes additional arguments
to the input-pipe-command, which you don't want to be passed to cat.
See wput(1).
Proxy Usage
===========
Export the environt-variable ftp_proxy:
export ftp_proxy=http://username:password@proxyhost:port
(for windows users:)
set ftp_proxy=http://proxyhost
This is for HTTP-proxies like squid. For Socks5-Proxies remove the
http-prefix:
export ftp_proxy=proxyhost:port
Wput will then automagically recognize these settings and use the proxy unless you
specify --proxy off.
