Linux – How to mention the prefix directory path in CURL command

curlftplinuxsftpunix

I am new to Linux, i want to write the perl script to download the files from FTP sites but here i want to use curl command to download the files. which is working fine in wget command but not working with curl command.

The below coommand is downloading the file from SFTP servers, Here i have mentioned the SFTP username/password mentioned in the wgetrc_proxy file and mentioned the directory path where to download the DATA.zip(/hom1/sara/) in the my linux box.

WGETRC=/hom1/sara/wgetrc_proxy wget --directory-prefix=/hom1/sara/ ftp://67.125.134.122/out_files/DATA.ZIP

I tried the same scenario using CURL, but which is not working.

WGETRC=/hom1/sara/wgetrc_proxy curl --directory-prefix=/hom1/sara/ ftp://67.125.134.122/out_files/DATA.ZIP

wgetrc_proxy contains below things.

-sh-3.00$ cat wgetrc_proxy
netrc = off

login=aaaa
passwd=xxxx

dot_style=mega
timeout=180

What mistake i have done here, else missed any environment configuration. Please help me out to resolve this issue.

curl doesn't support a wgetrc file or the same command line options as wget. Use man curl to get the complete list of available options.

This should do:

cd /hom1/sara/ && curl --max-time 180 --proxy aaaa:xxxx@$http_proxy ftp://67.125.134.122/out_files/DATA.ZIP

Ftp – Debugging SFTP connections between AIX client and Windows Server

As far as I know, none of the AIX versions up to 7.1 ship with a SSL capable FTP client (and there's no -s switch as you show in your example), so it sounds like they're using a non-standard client, which could be anything really.

Maybe ask them to switch to LFTP, or Curl from IBM's RPM packages, both have FTP over SSL support

Linux – vsFTPd authenticating with SSSD

I first checked the shell settings and added the following line to my /etc/sss/sssd.conf:

[domain/example.org]
override_shell = /sbin/rbash

but this didn't solve the problem.

After commenting out the line

account  [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore]  pam_sss.so

in /etc/pam.d/common-auth active directory users can login with their AD account.

But this setting affects more login services than just vsftpd. So I removed the comment from that line (going back to the original version) and changed vsftpd'd pam configuration instead:

/etc/pam.d/vsftpd:

# Standard behaviour for ftpd(8).
auth  required   pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed

# Note: vsftpd handles anonymous logins on its own. Do not enable pam_ftp.so.

# Standard pam includes

##@include common-account
account [success=1 new_authtok_reqd=done default=ignore]  pam_unix.so 
account requisite      pam_deny.so
account required       pam_permit.so
account sufficient     pam_localuser.so 

@include common-session
@include common-auth
auth    required       pam_shells.so
