- Resume a broken ftp download
- Posted by Peter Höltschi on February 17th, 2004
Dear all
I like to download some big *.iso files over ftp to my redhat 9 box. When I
do so over night the connection stops once and I have to start again from
scratch. On Windows I know some programs which can just continue
downloading from where it stopped and complete the download properly whitout
starting the whole download again.
Thanks in advanced
Peter

Both wget and ncftp can resume, as far as I know. The server has to
support the feature, however.

AFAIK, in FTP:
REST <start_at_byte>
immediatly before the command to download (its slipped my mind at the
moment, "GET"?) will begin downloading at position <start_at_byte>, provided
the server supports the command, which most do, I believe. If your client
does not support restarts, perhaps you could download the chunks seporately,
and splice them together manually at the end. (though if you do, be sure to
compare them against the checksums!)

Ditto for C-Kermit's built-in FTP client, which has the advantage of
being fully scriptable, etc:

nt aka Downloader for X is a nice graphical download manager that does what
you want.
It supports DND from most browsers and can queue downloads.
It is available at http://rpmfind.net/

Start up a shell ftp session; get to the right directories, then enter
reget <file name>
It should start right where you left off.
