- Title: ftpbackup utility: backup to/restore from ftp server
- Version: 1.0
- Entered-date: 08JUN96
- Description: This utility allows you to backup your filesystem(s)
- and/or directories to a remote ftp server. Similarly
- it permits restoring of files from remote ftp servers.
- Backup and restore is done without the use of temporary
- files, which is helpful when you have no extra space.
- Addtionally, this utility can be used to view the contents
- of remote files without actually putting them on disk (or
- just retrieve a subset of the remote archive).
- This is accomplished by sending stdin to ftp, or taking
- the remote ftp file and sending it to the local standard
- output. Flexibillity is achieved by piping to cpio, tar,
- gzip etc. The C ftp I/O library included might also be useful.
- Keywords: ftp backup restore tcp ip tcp/ip cpio tar archive
