Hello, I've got an ftp site, not mine, that has content on it that i want to download. It's not anonymous so it requires a log in. The problem is either the ISP has a bandwidth throttle or the admin does, in either case inconsistently as to the point in the file, but i rarely get a complete download. I'm using ncftp. I was wondering if either ncftpget or wget could do like an auto get and keep getting more and more until it has the complete file?
I have used a cron-ned lftp mirror script to mirror a directory on a ftp server with username/password combo and is managed by windoZ admins -- means requires only cheking available free space in the destination "folder" which is shared with samba.
Long things short: lftp works so well on a desktop machine that last time the admins did not know where the hell the machine was when power went off and they had to switch on the machine ;-)
