Hi,
I've tried to download from ftp sites by wget but it failed and says "Service unavailable" but when I use sftp in binary mode and use "get" command it works perfectly. What's the problem?
BTW: I tried both passive and active mode in wget.
thnx for ur help
I could be wrong, but I hadn't known wget to be an sftp client.
I tried sftp for non-secure FTP, I also tried ftp command and I get same result.
Please supply more information. Something to include would be the syntax you used with wget etc.
OK man!
ftp login : pass @ somewhere
get test.zip
It works perfectly.
wget ftp://login : pass @ somewhere/test.zip
by putting passive_ftp = on/off (both). But it says Service unavailable or works very slowly.
Attention: I put spaces here to avoid showing smilies!
Try wget's --debug flag, it may show more useful error messages.
I got same or different error message, simply because plain ftp is not allowed in our networks. Can you please let us know also which version you are using :
wget --version
GNU Wget 1.9.1
Try wget's --debug flag, it may show more useful error messages.
Thanx 2 all specially Corona688.
I must turned of passive mode in .wgetrc.
