How to download/upload files through a ftp proxy server with"curl"
Posted: Thu May 31, 2007 3:23 pm
This help is for linux machines behind a FTP proxy.. (Note: Squid is not a true FTP Proxy server)
Say the proxy server is squid configured to be running on ' 192.168.0.10' Port '3128'
then some of the things we can do..
* List Files On FTP Server
curl --proxy 192.168.0.10:3128 [url]ftp://xyz:mypass@sharethespace.com:21[/url]
* Download a file
curl -o STSServerInstaller.exe --proxy 192.168.0.10:3128 [url]ftp://xyz:mypass@sharethespace.com:21/STSServerInstaller.exe[/url]
* Upload multiple files to the ftp server..
curl --upload-file "{rarlinux-3.6.0.tar.gz,vmlogo.xpm}" --verbose --proxy 192.168.0.10:3128 [url]ftp://xyz:mypass@sharethespace.com:21[/url]
Note: We are uploading two files ie. rarlinux-3.6.0.tar.gz and vmlogo.xpm, similarly we can state more files, with a comma seperated list.
* We can also give the username/ password in options which is much safer than using it on the URL.
curl --upload-file "{rarlinux-3.6.0.tar.gz ,vmlogo.xpm}" --verbose --proxy 192.168.0.10:3128 -u xyz:mypass [url]ftp://sharethespace.com:21[/url]
curl -o STSServerInstaller.exe --proxy 192.168.0.10:3128 -u xyz:mypass [url]ftp://sharethespace.com:21/STSServerInstaller.exe[/url]
curl --proxy 192.168.0.10:3128 xyz:mypass [url]ftp://sharethespace.com:21/path/to/file[/url]
