Re: Wput important question.
Ah, so you want to append something to the remote file. Seems as though this
cannot be done directly, but there might be a few tricks.
If you have the contents of the remote images.txt on your local machine, you
can simply do something like:
cat remote_images.txt images.txt > .tmpimages.txt
mv .tmpimages.txt remote_images.txt
wput remote_images.txt ftp://albert:albert@172.16.100.108/images.txt
So you append locally and wput will upload only the append data.
If you don't have the contents of the remote file, you can use some scripting
on ftp/netcat or parse the wput output to determine the current size or even
download the remote file. You just need to pad the first $remote_size bytes
to a temporary file, append the contents of images.txt to it and then upload
the temporary file, where again only the appended bytes will be submitted.
