Hi! I'm trying to write a script which gets a file from remote FTP server.
The FTP username contains dots and this cannot be changed. There are two firewalls involved, one running on the same server where I'm doing this (ipfilter, using ipnat ftp proxy) and one between this server and the FTP server. The FTP server itself is in internal network using RFC1918 addresses and a port in firewall is being forwarded to this server. I think that firewalls are configured correctly, because I can successfully get the file manually, using the 'ftp' command. However, when I try this command: fetch ftp://user.name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/file.ext I get an error message: fetch: ftp://user.name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/file.ext: Host not found. I suspect that fetch, seeing a dot in username, attempts to 'resolve' the entire URL, instead of just the part after @. Is there a known workaround to this? I also tried wget, which succeeds to connect, but then, no matter what I do, insists on using passive mode. wget ftp://user.name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/file.ext Connecting to server.mydomain.com[12.34.56.78]:2100... connected. Logging in as user.name ... Logged in! ==> SYST ... done. ==> PWD ... done. ==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD /directory ... done. ==> PASV ... and then the process just hangs. I suspect it would work if I could somehow tell wget to NOT use passive mode. I initially had FTP_PASSIVE_MODE environment variable set, but removing this didn't affect wget's behaviour.
