Terminal FTP client with progress bar
I'm SSHing to a headless Ubuntu box and sometimes need to upload files from that box via FTP. The built-in FTP client does not show the progress of my upload (or at least I don't know how to view it). I just see this during the operation (which could take up to an hour):
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for MyFile
Are there any FTP clients which I could use in terminal and would show the progress (some kind of a progress bar or just the percentage)?
Solution 1:
You could type the 'hash' command inside FTP to turn on some kind of feedback.
I always used to use ncftp
as it gave good command line editing, history, and progress.
Solution 2:
ncftpput is what you want. There is no better shell ftpclient :) You will see your progress in %, uploaded bytes and remaining time.
