LFTP can be used as any typical FTP client but it also provides the ability to connect without asking about the password. The solution is simple however a bit unsafe as the password is given explicitly as text, like below. Thus anybody who can read the script can also steal the password, so make sure your script is readable for you only.
Also, do not connect as root. Create a special user for this without root super-powers. The powerful curl command line tool can be used to download files from just about any remote server.
Longtime command line users know this can be useful for a wide variety of situations, but to keep things simple, many will find that downloading a file with curl can often be a quicker alternative to using a web browser or FTP client from the GUI side of Mac OS X or linux. Though curl is easy to use, having some knowledge of the command line is recommended. Using the uppercase -O flag with curl downloads the file from the remote server while maintaining the exact file name, the basic syntax for this is the following:.
Regular readers may recall that we used the curl -O command when explaining how to extract the actual audio content from an m3u streaming file. Beginning any download with curl shows the percent transferred, time spent downloading and time remaining, and the transfer speed.
The screenshot offers a better representation than the pasted example below, but it looks something like this:. Using a lowercase -o flag will allow you to specify a different file name for the downloaded file than how it is named on the remote server. The general syntax would be:. For example, if you want to save an iOS IPSW file that you found listed on Apple servers without having the lengthy full name, you could use the following:.
For files with different names, or hosted on different servers, or within different directory paths, use the complete URL, for example:.
With Commander interface make sure that remote panel is still active. Before the upload actually starts, the transfer options dialog will show. The target directory is by default the current local directory with Commander interface and the last used local directory with Explorer interface. You can also download files using the Windows clipboard. First select the files you want to download in the remote panel and copy them to the clipboard. There you will have a chance to change the transfer options.
In such a case, use below command on administrative command window:. However, if you deem it unnecessary for your environment, you can skip this part. You may choose to use a publicly trusted certificate, but for our purposes we are using a self signed certificate as I just wanted to get up and running as quickly as possible.
However best practice would be to set this using DNS name. This will create a self signed certificate and add to local machine. Notice the thumbprint id created by using above command. To enable winrm on port , we need to run below command on a command prompt inside virtual machine:.
If we need to copy files from local machine to remote machine, we would need to use -ToSession parameter. For example:. As part of the copy operation, the command also changes the item name from mail-script. Similarly, when we need to copy files from remote machine to local machine, we can use -FromSession parameter.
