Install wput under HP-UX 11.11

Kenneth Weise — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:33:33 GMT

Hi,

We have hp-ux 11.11 and I am looking to install wput for better ftp transfers to another server. I am getting the following when trying to gmake it (have also tried make and get a similar error). I think I need some other package installed, but I have no idea what it would be. Thanks for any help!!

Output:
cd po && gmake all
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/ken/install/wput-0.6.1/po'
gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ken/install/wput-0.6.1/po'
cd src && gmake all
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/ken/install/wput-0.6.1/src'
gcc -Wall -g -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -c -o socketlib.o socketlib.c

gmake[1]: *** [socketlib.o] Error 1

Hi Kenneth:

I'd fetch a binary from the Porting Centre, noting the dependencies listed there:

Regards!

I tried, but it's not there. I am trying to install WPUT, not WGET. Thanks!

put != get.

I haven't looked at wput for a long time (and
then I was worried more about VMS
compatibility). Whence did you get the
source kit?

As I (dimly) recall, the code and its
builders were none too robust.

> [...] better ftp transfers [...]

Define "better".

Source is located here: http://wput.sourceforge.net/

It is better in the sense that it can do auto-resumes and the like if the connection is dropped. On our Linux box, I can use lftp for the same function. I don't see this available for the HP either. Any other suggestions for good command line ftp clients supporting auto-resume on a connection drop?

Yeah, it hasn't improved greatly since I
last looked at it. Not very portable.

seems to need to be
.

You also need a strtoll().

If you want a sloppy-port kit, send some
e-mail to me, sms@antinode-info (more or
less).

You might report the problems to the
developers, too.

Thanks Steven,

From your info, I changed select.h to time.h and found this site (http://archives.seul.org/gftp/users/Apr-2004/msg00010.html) where they wrote their own strtoll() and it worked. I was able to get wput made and can view the version and help now. Now on to test it and make sure it really does work correctly.

If anyone has an ftp command line client with these types of features for HP-UX 11.11, I would be interested. I see wput is available in a media kit for 11.23 or higher, but that doesn't help me. :-)

Hi (again):

Oops! Indeed, 'put' != 'get'. Sorry!

I'm sensitized. My major contribution to
wput was making it easier for it to steal
code from wget, so that I could more easily
get my VMS-related wget changes into it.
(VMS FTP servers tend to look different from
UNIX FTP servers.)

VMS has COPY /FTP, however, so it has less
need for a wput than some systems, and so,
as I said, I haven't looked at it lately.
