FTP Backup tool

A tool to make a complete backup of ftp accounts. It downloads one file at time, to avoid transfer errors. Mostly on shared servers where the server cannot handle to many connections.

It can be used to download huge ftp accounts, it supports file skipping when an identical (same size and modification date) is found.

How to use

Its a command line program.

Example run:

chmod +x ftp-backup-tool
./ftp-backup-tool user@example.org mypassword ftp.example.org

By default it will try download the entire ftp account, but you can specify a few options.

• -p the port (default 21)
• -t connection timeout in seconds (default 30 seconds)
• -s the start path to download (default /)
• -d the download path (default to ./backup)
