I am quite new to kermit so I hope this is not a stupid questions but
I've spend hours trying to get this to work....
I am trying to set up an automated backup from a Fedora3 server to a
500Gb LaCie drive over ethernet. There are about 30k files to transfer.
I know both the server and the Lacie are OK as I have done the
complete transfer with gFTP and all was OK.
I had some problems initially which I solved as follows:
set file stringspace 10000000
set file listsize 100000
set ftp filenames literal
set term idle-timeout 100
set term idle-action output \32
With kermit I have a script which connects up; goes to the correct
directories on each side and can transfers the files. However, when I go
to the drive one of two things happens.
(1) If I try "ftp mput /recursive /update * " the files appear to
transfer. If I repeat it only the changed ones seem to be done again.
But on the LaCie the files are invisible - I can't find them anywhere!
(2) So I tried this instead:
ftp mput /recursive /update /listfile:\m(filelist) - this tranfers all
the files (I used find to generate a list of all the files (exc.
directories). Now I thik all there files are there and visible but they
ar enot in the correct directories! It looks as if kermit is descending
but not ascending before creating a new directory.
The listfile looks like this (but much longer!):
