Begin3 Title: ftpbackup utility: backup to/restore from ftp server Version: 2.1 Entered-date: 15SEP97 Description: This utility allows you to backup or restore filesystems or directories to/from a remote ftp server, _without_ having to create an intermediate file first. This allows you to conveniantly backup systems without backup facilities. The remote pathname does not have to be a regular file - it may be the special device pathname of a tape drive or some other suitable device. Addtionally, this utility can be used to view the contents of remote tar.gz files without actually downloading them on your local disk. Other uses include the extraction of subsets of a remote tar archive etc. This flexibillity is achieved by piping to cpio, tar, gzip etc. Keywords: ftp backup restore tcp ip tcp/ip cpio tar archive Author: wwg@ica.net (Warren W.
