Re: Weird ncftp Issue?

I agree with Tim. It's probably not the operating system or pure-ftpd. I've had very good luck with pure-ftpd here and lots of people had no problem downloading. It could be a passive mode issue or something in how pure-ftpd is configured, but I suggest rsync. It's a lot more secure, gives you much greater control and can be substantially faster, depending on the files. You could try other ftp clients, but ftp is not secure unless you're using ftps and I would very strongly recommend against it nowadays. Besides, ftp wastes a lot of extra bandwidth. I use rsync often to push files to various servers and I've never had a problem with it. It has a ton of command line switches, but this should work:

rsync -av chime@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:* .

That downloads everything from your remote home directory to your current local directory. It uses ssh by default and preserves file perms, times and ownership. Tim is wrong in that rsync doesn't support telnet. It does support rsh, but again, I would strongly recommend using ssh for security.

Wow, I've never seen this one. I prefer ncftp as it has a switch to delete
items as they are successful. Well, trying to grab larger items from
Shellworld down to the hard-drive, I grab useing a wild-card. But just as
the first file gets down to 1second remaining, it stalls, no matter which
extention I try. Looking at the running process on Shellworld, its "pure
ftp" Can some1 please suggest anyway of diagnosing this. I am running
Debian, mostly sid and Shellworld is I think Ubunto.
