S2 MFS_FTP Client?

[DocTauri]

I'd like to pull shows from one of my Tivii to the other automatically. Does anyone know if a FTP client exists on S2 that can hook into MFS? If not, can someone point me to a good, scriptable, FXP Linux client?

Thanks,
Doc

Well, supposed lftp (typically installed w/Redhat) will do FXP, but damned if I can make it happen. Probably something I'm doing wrong, but if I enter the below from the lftp interactive mode:

get ftp://user: pass@192.168.1.11/var/test -o ftp://user: pass@192.168.1.12/var/test

I get a message about a "FEAT Negotiation... Waiting for other copy peer", then it goes into a "30 second delay before reconnecting", and never actually transfers the file (and goes through the delay loop again forever as far as I can tell). I can get the file, then put the file to the hosts mentioned, but all in one (FXP) transfer acts as above.

I've tried it w/and w/o the username/pass, no luck.

Anyone have any experiece with FXP in lftp?

Thanks.

I don't ftp any mfs stuff, so I can't test anything out... just
wanted to put in a plug for ncftp. I use ncftp to automatically
connect to tivo's ftp server. it automatically logs in. There
is ncftpget and ncftpput commands to get and put files
from the command line. You might want to give that a shot
and see if it works.

Thanks EvilJack, I just looked at the man page for it, but it doesn't appear to support FXP. Do you know if there's a version that does?

Thanks,

cojonesdetoro posted some tcl scripts to initiate fxp transfers a while back, chunkedit can also be run in straight copy mode w/o editing

I use gftp for transfers to/from TiVos. The documentation states that it supports fxp, but, in the spirit of DDB, there is no "guide." The gftp homepage is http://www.gftp.org

get [url]ftp://user: pass@192.168.1.11/var/test -o ftp://user: pass@192.168.1.12/var/test

You're doing the test against the normal FTP server? What happend if you try with mfs_ftp? (using the 3105 port)? I think you need to do ftp://user:pass@192.168.1.11:3105/tmf/someprogram.tmf
