Softpanorama FTP Protocol and Clients Evaluation Page

As for the FTP servers wu-ftpd seems to be the king of the hill among free implementations although Red Hat by default installs vsftpd and Suse installs pure-ftpd.  The ProFTPD  is also very popular.

Note: Free FTP clients for Windows are discussed in a separate page

For clients the main tendency is to incorporate FTP functionality into a regular file manager or a regular WEB browser.  But the most revolutionary technology is to create FTP filesystem. The first vendor that accomplish this was Southrivertech  with its amazing WebDrive  product that is known mainly via Novell rebranded free (for Netware and iFolder users) Netdrive. That can be done in several ways:

• Using virtual FTP filesystem.  This is the most advanced and flexible capability. In this case you simply do not need a client: all your programs work with the remote FTP server as if it is a local filesystem.

  • NetDrive is Novell distribution of Webdrive 4.1. This is a great application that permit you to manage you FTP site as if  it is a local drive. It does not need Novell client to be available: this is a standalone application. Licensing restrictions keep Novell from distributing netdrive.exe on their web site so you will need to find it using Google or other search engine. It used to be available from several university sites, but as program grow older the number of such sites disappeared.  Here is one link that was active at the time or last correction of the page (Google is your friend and with search string "Netdrive 4.1" you can do wonders :-)

    Download the program from HERE. Double click and follow the instructions to install the program. Once the program is installed, open the program (Start->Programs->NetDrive->NetDrive) and click new site.

    Here is step-by-step tutorial for setting up NetDrive.
     

  • WebDrive  is the original implementation but only commercial versions exist ($60).  Unlike NetDrive it supports SFTP. Current version is 7.0

    You can perform file transfers without running a separate FTP client application. Store and edit files on FTP servers as easily as you edit files on your local PC. File Transfer happens in the background each time you save a file. WebDrive can also connect to WebDAV servers. [more...]
     

  • On the Intranet, it's possible to configure a Windows machine to map to a FTP server as a drive (for instance the Microsoft site) providing the machine runs both NetBEUI and TCP/IP:

  1. Perform a NSLOOKUP for the FTP site, e.g. nslookup ftp.microsoft.com make a note of the IP address
  2. Edit the LMHOSTS file (in %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc)
  3. Add line <ip address> MicrosoftFTP #PRE e.g. 207.46.133.140 MicrosoftFTP #PRE
  4. Save the file
  5. Open a CMD.EXE session. Enter command: nbtstat -R This purges and reloads the name table cache
  6. Type command: net view \\MicrosoftFTP You should see information on the site
  7. Now map a drive (to share data) net use * \\MicrosoftFTP\data /user:anonymous
  8. All done. It will pass a drive letter for the connection

  • Using fuse filesystem for Linux.

    Since FUSE is merged into Linux Kernel 2.6.14, it seems reasonable to choose FUSE than LUFS. So the task now is to recompile a Linux Kernel version 2.6.14 and up with FUSE support. As far as how to compile the kernel, there are way too many articles detailing step by step howtos. Since this dedicated server is using FC3, I followed this article. If you have a kernel 2.6.14 and up and want to enable FUSE, simply add this into your kernel's .config file.

    CONFIG_FUSE_FS=y

    Reboot with the new FUSE-enabled kernel, then we're ready to use all the Filesystem based on FUSE. There were quite many

    • FuseFTP: Written in Perl.
    • CurlFtpFs: Using libcurl. 
    • SMB for FUSE
    • GmailFS
    • CvsFS
    • User-level Versioning File System
    • SshFS
    • BitTorrent File System
    • WikipediaFS
    • Flickrfs
    • BlogFS
    • CryptoFS

  • Alex FTP Filesystem is an old and semi-abandoned project with similar capabilities for Unix.

• Using file managers with built-in FTP client

  • Command line or GUI-based OFM file managers  that traditionally have built-in FTP clients, for example Midnight Commander (Unix), FAR or Total Commander (Windows). Actually Total Commander has a pretty cool FTP capabilities that are pretty competitive with commercial FTP clients. 

  • Nautilus File Manager and, possibly, other  GNOME VFS based file managers. GnomeVFS is a library that allows applications to transparently access various types of filesystems through a uniform interface. GnomeVFS modules include support for things such as WebDAV, ftp, local filesystem, gzip, bzip2, cdda, and others.  
     

• Using "ftp client should be a browser extension" approach. Filezilla is an example of free FTP client belonging to this category.  Some Java implementations of OFM can work as an applet in the browser Windows.

As for traditional command line clients (if you still need any ;-) in Unix  NCFTP might be not a bad idea. NCFTP has almost everything you always wanted to see with ftp. Includes NcFTPPut and NcFTPGet, which support FTP for shell scripts. Source code is available.

Free FTP clients for Windows are discussed in a separate page

[Jan 28, 2008] lftp 3.6.3 by Alexander V. Lukyanov

Most mirroring program like wget support ftp

About: lftp is a sophisticated command line based file transfer program. Supported protocols include FTP, HTTP, SFTP, and FISH. It has a multithreaded design allowing you to issue and execute multiple commands simultaneously or in the background. It also features mirroring capabilities and will reconnect and continue transfers in the event of a disconnection. Also, if you quit the program while transfers are still in progress, it will switch to nohup mode and finish the transfers in the background. Additional protocols supported: FTP over HTTP proxy, HTTPS and FTP over SSL. There are lots of tunable parameters, including rate limitation, number of connections limitation and more.

Changes: The sftp:use-full-path setting was added. sftp FSETSTAT is not used when it is not needed. The sftp:charset and fish:charset settings were fixed. URL escapes are not decoded in get/put when no URL schema is used. Counting of file removal errors in mirror was fixed. A 2-byte buffer overflow when showing transfer percents was fixed. A problem with incorrect port/host name in HTTP requests was fixed. Some core dumps were fixed. Compilation on some systems was fixed.

[Dec 04, 2007] CLI Magic Quick and easy backup with lftp by Dmitri Popov

wget has similar functionality and is more versatile (can use HTTP).

December 04 |  Linux.com

No matter what Linux distribution you are using, chances are you'll find more than one graphical FTP client in its repositories, but if you are looking for a powerful command-line FTP tool, your best bet is lftp. Of course, you can always use the good old ftp command, but lftp takes the task of managing files and directories using the FTP protocol to a new level. To see what I mean, let's use lftp to write a script that creates a local backup copy of a Web site.

To write the script, you need to know how to use lftp to connect to an FTP server and synchronize a remote directory with a local one. If your FTP server supports anonymous connections, you can connect to it using the simple command lftp ftpsite. If the server requires a user name and password, the connection command would look like lftp -u username,password ftpsite.

To synchronize a remote directory with a folder on your hard disk, lftp utilizes the mirror command. Used without switches, this command syncs the current local and remote directories. You can also specify explicitly the source and target directories:

mirror path/to/source_directory path/to/target_directory

The mirror command offers a comprehensive set of switches, which you can use to control the synchronization process. For example, used with the --delete switch, the mirror command deletes the files in the local folder that are not present in the remote directory, while the --only-newer option forces lftp to download only newer files. Another handy switch is --exclude; it allows you to specify which files and directories to skip during synchronization. And if you prefer to keep an eye on the syncing process, you can use the --verbose switch.

Typing all those switches every time you want to synchronize two directories can be a bit of a bother. Fortunately, lftp understands complex commands that can perform several actions in one fell swoop. All you have to do is to use the -e switch, so lftp stays connected and runs the specified commands:

lftp -u username,password -e "mirror --delete --only-newer --verbose path/to/source_directory path/to/target_directory" ftpsite

Using this command, lftp connects to the FTP server using the provided credentials, and then runs the command(s) in the quotes. You can save the entire command in a text file, then run it by pointing lftp to it using the -f switch:

lftp -f /home/user/ftpscript.txt

lftp has a few other clever tricks up its sleeve. The at switch can come in handy when you want to run the backup at a specific time. The following command, for example, runs at midnight:

lftp at 00:00 -u username,password -e "mirror --delete --only-newer --verbose path/to/source_directory path/to/target_directory" ftpsite &

Notice the ampersand, which sends the command to the background so you don't have to keep the terminal window open.

Now you know how to create local backup of files and directories stored on an FTP server. But how do you restore the data if disaster strikes? Quite easily, actually. All you have to do is to add the --reverse switch to the mirror command:

lftp -u username,password -e "mirror --reverse --delete --only-newer --verbose path/to/source_directory path/to/target_directory" ftpsite

As the name suggests, the switch reverses the source and target directories, so lftp uploads files from the local directory to the remote FTP server.

That's all there is to it. Check lftp's man pages to get an overview of lftp's other useful options, and start FTPing like a pro.

• Inherited properties enabling easy and powerful configuration
• Expanded number of supported protocols and security standards

[Mar 14, 2006] Linux.com Upload directories recursively with NcFTP

wget has similar functionality and is more versatile (can use HTTP).

I recently had to upload some content to a Web site, and the only access available was via FTP. I needed an FTP client capable of uploading a directory structure recursively. I found what I needed in an application called NcFTP.

I started by looking into Mozilla Firefox, but to my surprise, Firefox supports only FTP downloads, not uploads. Mozilla, on the other hand, does support uploads, but it can upload only one file at a time.

Next, I turned to command-line FTP clients. Again, the standard FTP command doesn't support recursive directory upload. Fortunately, many graphical and command-line FTP clients do, including NcFTP, yafc, and LFTP. I picked NcFTP.

After installing the software, connect to your host anonymously by entering the ncftp command followed by the hostname:

ncftp ftp.somedomain.com

or if you need to log in with a valid username, use the -u and -p parameters:

ncftp -u username -p password ftp.somedomain.com

A successful connection puts you in an NcFTP shell. If you've used the standard FTP command before, you should feel right at home here. I'll presume you're familiar with basic FTP commands such as dir and cd. You can use the lls and the lcd commands to list and navigate the local working directory.

NcFTP supports autocompletion for both commands and filenames. For instance, you can type in the first few characters of a filename and then press Tab to fill in the rest of the name automatically.

Recall that my main goal was to upload a directory structure. Use the put -R command to do a recursive directory upload:

ncftp /path > put -R somedir

Standard FTP also supports a put command, but it's limited to uploading single files.

Similarly, you can download a directory recursively using the NcFTP get -R command:

ncftp /path > get -R somedir

More handy features

If you FTP to the same sites regularly, you can save time by using NcFTP's bookmark feature. Bookmarks store the connection information, including the username, the password, the hostname, and the target directory location.

To create a bookmark on a particular directory location, first navigate to that directory and then enter the bookmark command followed by a name to identify the bookmark. For example, type these commands to bookmark /path/somedir and name it topsecret:

ncftp /path > cd somedir
ncftp /path/somedir > bookmark topsecret

A bookmark editor lets you open, edit, delete, replicate, and add bookmarks. Invoke the editor by entering the bookmarks command with no parameters:

ncftp /path > bookmarks

Once you create a bookmark, you can connect to the corresponding host and directory quickly by using the bookmark name. Login is automatic because the bookmark stores the username and password.

For instance, you can connect using a bookmark named topsecret by entering this command in the Linux shell:

ncftp topsecret

Alternatively, you can open a connection while inside the NcFTP shell:

ncftp> open topsecret

Wrapping it up

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) was once a commonly used method for transferring files over the Internet, but recent security concerns have lessened its use in favor of the more secure SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) or Secure Copy (SCP). Nevertheless, FTP may be the only access available to you on occasion.

NcFTP is loaded with useful features. I've touched on only the basics. If you ever require an FTP client more powerful than the standard FTP command, consider NcFTP.

FTP over weak links

Bullet Proof FTP -- designed specifically to keep your transfers flowing despite weak links but cannot beat Net Vampire. For FTP looks like obsolete as WebDrive FTP solved all this problems in a more elegant way.

***** Net Vampire -- From: Alex Shovkoplyas This program is not a simple FTP client -- it is fully automatic FTP and HTTP file downloader. It will start at the time you specify and make as many attempts to download the file as you request. Net Vampire resumes broken connections and restarts downloads at the current position for both FTP and Web servers. To start file retrieval, just drag and drop a URL from your browser. Net Vampire provides flexible job scheduling, dialup control and support for many proxy types, including Socks. You can use multiple downloading locations for the file and switch among them on the fly. In addition to performing real-time testing, Net Vampire collects long-term site statistics, which further helps you to choose the best file location. A built-in search engine can find files on both FTP and HTTP servers. Net Vampire can list FTP directories and extract links from the downloaded HTML pages. All found links can be added to the main Job List. On job completion, Net Vampire can run a virus checker, open the received file, disconnect the modem, or shut down the computer. A detailed session log, data flow histogram, and many configurable options make download troubleshooting easier.
