FTP Clients?
Hi, is there any other good ftp clients beside lftp and ncftp to transfer a whole directory for CentOS4?
I can't get lftp passive mode behind firewall working, it's stuck at [Making data connection...] and there is some problems with ncftp as well, and centos4 is no longer supported too..|ーWe are all born to this world To meet a certain person; it must be soー|

I'm not to familiar with linux, but you should be able to use wine then you can use whatever ftp program you want.

You mean ftp client to connect to the ftp server running on centos right? You can use Filezilla and enable passive mode in it. What is the error you are getting when trying to connect to ftp server?

If school isn't part of one's career path in IT services, after asking first "why not?", at the very least a serious course of self-study could take a suitable individual a long way down the road; hopefully this knowledge would find reinforcement in the practical world through working for someone else before setting out on one's own.
However I think most would agree that if we were to do a study of how many inane questions are asked here on WHT, posed by "web hosters", I think we'd find a surprising number are "new" to the business and "new" to the required technologies. I'm not referring to this thread or the original poster at all. Having answered or attempted to answer more than a few questions for such folks, I can't stop wondering how people who are barely comfortable with OS basics could possibly run a web hosting business and profit, while at the same time properly serve their clients.

rsync may be better suited to what you're doing, if this is more than a one-time action.
If you have shell access to the remote server, creating a tar archive of the directory may also be useful, as this is just one file to transfer and you may choose to use something else to transfer it (e.g. HTTP)
Your connection errors sound like firewall restrictions; you said there's a firewall there, changing the FTP client is unlikely to make it start working, if it's not a problem with the FTP client. Try using active mode, it may be that the firewall is preventing passive mode from working. (Some firewall configurations require you to use passive mode, others require you to use active mode, and in some cases, neither will work.)

Yeah use rsync.
For example if you want to transfer stuff in your /files dir to remote server (my.server.com) in /remotefile dir, just run this command:
rsync -avz -e ssh /files root@my.server.com:/remotefile
You will be promted for root password if you don't use certificate authentication method which is recommended.
Also I used root but it's recommended you make another account for rsync and give write/read permission to that folder.Yudai Yamagishi
