Core FTP

One issue was that my PC's date got set tot he future. However that doesn't explain why files that hadn't been updated are still getting copied. Repeatedly.

I use Coreftp to do my offsite backups. I have a Buffalo Drive sitting at my in-laws' house. Nightly I use the a series of commands to backup important (to me) directories to the remote Buffalo Drive. The basic command looks like (normally on one long line): C:"\Program Files\CoreFTP\coreftp.ex...

Gee it's been a long time, but I finally was able to play around with this. I found my problem and perhaps my mistake will help others. It I typed the coreftp command into a cmd window, the time substitutions worked fine. However when I'd use the commands in a .bat file all I'd get was the from the ...

I'm a big user of the command line mode of operation. I'd love to have an --exclude with syntax like rsync. That way I move an entire tree but exlude say a temp directory.

Note that I'd like it to be like rsync in another way. rsync allows for mutliple --exclude strings in the same command.

I upload my files to a offsite storage solution and use the encryption feature. I'd love the option to set up a profile that jumbles or encrypts the files names as seen by the system or by standard client, but when viewed and browsed by the correct CoreFTP site profile, the files and directories app...

I'll need to test it, been out of the office and will be out most of the next month. I won't forget this though...and I'll reply here once it's tested.

From my command line:

-output c:\batch\offsite_backup\output\%Y%m%d%H%M%S_Z_11us.log

That results in a file name of mHS_Z_11us.log in the specified directory.

What did I do wrong? Build 1560...

Great suggestion and great implementation. I like it.

Granted I'm not using a virtual PC, but frequently upload 400MB-1GB files without a problem. At least without a problem that I pin on CoreFTP. My aDSL upload speed is limited so a 1GB file takes a while. Since CoreFTP (an FTP limitation I believe) can't restart a transfer in the middle, any problems...

What is the expected behavior if -ON and -OG are used in the same command line? Should CoreFTP update the target if the source is either newer OR larger?

Chris and Andre, I forwarded a Directory Info to support@coreftp.com for an OpenVMS system. It includes a few cases that Andre's listing doesn't show that can impact parsing the text. If the file name is long, then the rest of the data follows on the next line. If the file size is large, the columns...

The GUI seems to offer only "Process Queue" and "Pause Queue" Pause queue stops all activity immediately. I'd like to suggest there be a "Pause After" type option to finish transferring the file(s) in progress, but to not start any new files. I'd also be wonderful, but ...

maurert

I'd got to thinking that it'd be nice to transfer multiple files from the queue at a time. Fortunately Chris is ahead of me on this one. If my case I'm transferring to one host so I did drilled into the Site Manager>pick-a-site>Advanced>Connections. On that window in the "Connection Types"...

When I did a directory info with PRO, I saw a different formatting. Essentially more white space.

maurert

Andre, I've been using CoreFTP with OpenVMS for over a year...and I'd never noticed the date issue. But you're correct! I've duplicated it. Chris (the CoreFTP engineer) will want the directory info from the OpenVMS connection. To get it open a connection to the OpenVMS system. After the directory li...

AHHH! So all I needed to do is right click? No Control-C though. Okay.

I'd love it if the GUI for browsing the local files (Window) allowed the up arrow to work to the "My Computer" and perhaps even the "Desktop" level. I don't like using the separate "Directory Tree" window to change drives.

Since a Registration ID is supposed to accompany E-mail support, it would be very convenient if I could "Copy" from the "Help About" screen so that I could "Paste" it to the E-mail subject.

2.1 Build 1547 I'm uploading many files to an offsite backup site. I'm using the crypto. Only some of the files encounter the error. Others can be successfully uploaded with encryption in the upload rule and successfully decrypted with the download rule. One example: DTM 220004 Rim Dam Pool, Crystal...

The new build seems to have solved my problem. I only say "seems" as I haven't done a file-by-file comparison.

maurert

I'll download and give it a try.

maurert

I'd proposed a -exclude <filename> where the file is a list of file specifications to exclude from transfer. This would work well with -recurse. One directory tree could be specified to be FTPed, but the exclude list could be lines like: .TMP excludes all files with the string .TMP in them /cache/ e...

Actually I'd clipped off the -log switch at the end of the line. I have sent a few examples. The server in this case is a linux variant by Host Monster.

I'm using command line mode to keep off-stie backups of my files fresh. However I noticed that recursion isn't working, at least not the way I expect. Windows XP SP 2 CoreFTP 2.0 Build 1534 Example command line: C:"\Program Files\CoreFTP\coreftp.exe" -site offsite_backup -u z:\11us -p &quo...

I'd being E-mailing with CP directly as a support call, but he's not answered any in the last month.

CP,

The output above is the actual directory output layout. I E-mailed it to you as well.

If I use either of the two OpenVMS options, the GUI doesn't present filenames at all. If I use Legacy, I get filenames with an asterisk behind it.

Todd

I'm having trouble as OpenVMS migrates from FTP to SFTP. If select server type of "Auto", I see all (most) filenames with an "*" appended to the end. Folders work, but file transfers fail with a no such file error. OpenVMS filenames end in a version number (;4 for example) and pl...

Did you get the directory listing I sent a month ago? Do you need more data?

CP,

Did you get my Email with the directory listing, and did it help you understand what is going on?

2.0 Build 1485 has been installed. Tried Server Type = VMS and VMS 7+. Neither works 100%. At first I thought it was only long files names, but sometimes short files names will be messed up too. How can we procede? Do you want screen shots? Obviously OpenVMS system is sending back a stream of inform...

I'd rate CoreFTP's SYNCing abilities some where between a 4 and an 8 (on a 1-10 scale) depending on what you're trying to do. If you're trying to be sure a handful of files stay up to date, then the documentation will tell you how to schedule that through the GUI. That's the high-end with a rating o...

I've noted elsewhere that the commandline interface can be devious in the handling of case, but I hadn't noted a problem (yet) in the GUI. The symptom I've found in the command line is that if the source specified in the command line is "fred", then the command line is find "Fred"...

If you hadn't said that you had other FTP clients upload at the 100KB/Second I'd have said that you were hitting the limit of your aDSL line. I peaked out at 45-48KB/Second, but 45-48 KileBytes is in the neighboorhood of 450-600 Kilobits/second of a most aDSL lines.
