Begin3 Title: ftpbackup utility: backup to/restore from ftp server Version: 1.0 Entered-date: 08JUN96 Description: This utility allows you to backup your filesystem(s) and/or directories to a remote ftp server. Similarly it permits restoring of files from remote ftp servers. Backup and restore is done without the use of temporary files, which is helpful when you have no extra space. Addtionally, this utility can be used to view the contents of remote files without actually putting them on disk (or just retrieve a subset of the remote archive). This is accomplished by sending stdin to ftp, or taking the remote ftp file and sending it to the local standard output. Flexibillity is achieved by piping to cpio, tar, gzip etc. The C ftp I/O library included might also be useful.
