    Hello all,

    I am in need of a ftp program and wasn't sure where to look, also is it worth going for the free ones to begin ( trial license) and buy one, I have no idea on what is the best program out there but I would like one thats easy to use.

    I know about Getright & DAP but am not sure if these are any good.

    Please help

    Does anyone just use the command line, at the MS-Dos prompt?

    Humbling...

    After reading this, I looked at my e-penis, it does seem to look a little smaller...

    Nah, never used FTP commands without a GUI.

    what in the world is an `e-penis'?

    You can't run the GUI program from the cronjob can you?

    I am going to have to change my html files from one webserver to another. People have told me that these programs, like cute-ftp, and leechftp can do that sort of thing... copy from one webserver's harddrive to another one *without* downloading to your hardrive in between.
    Ha! That's a trick!

    Anybody fancy the leechftp program?

    Farbib:

    ha! The minute that I sent the reply to this post I 'got it' about the joke there.
    Doh! I'm slow sometimes.

    I know that some programs *can* be called from the command line. Even w/o X running.

    See, I really like the ftp. I understand that it is NOT secure. But, until I learn another way of file transer, like say ssh or something, then I will have to make due with ftp.

    See, I have a cron job that runs every night. It updates my webpage `automagically'
    by a BASH script! You can check it out, the url is in the `signature' here of my post.

    So, since that is the only thing that I have ever done with the computer that seems `cool' (I'm quite new at this), then, of course, the ftp is close to my heart, you may say.


    Oh, no, New York is America's City. That is, the World's City.
    haha!
    If anyone doesn't like NEW YORK, they are telling you more about themselves than about THE CITY!

    I don't have too much earning power, that's just me, but, someday, if I did get a lot of money, I would blow it on a NY visit. haha... ride the Subway trains and the whole works. You know, Manhattan, the real business part... Yes, that would be a place to see there!

    e-penis..lol..HAHAHHAAHH!!!!! good one.. lol :D

    I use Command Line FTP periodically when , for whatever reason, my FTP clients at work don't want to connect; and for whatever reason, Command Line FTP will work fine. Who knows what they do downtown to mess this up.

    Hmm...Maybe I should change my username from Farbib (which stands for Brandon In Backwards Recursive Acronym Format) to E-Penis?

    well, if it weren't for "penis" being part of the term, I would have made it your title hours ago.. lol

    How about sinepegib?

    It's backward for big e-penis.

    I may be pushing it now, I'll stop, I'll stop :)
