Unfortunately, this is the only Unix box on the network and I do not have administrator access to Novell. My FreeBSD box is kind of a rogue server in a hostile Novell/WinNT environment. Someone suggested wget from the ports collection. I'll try that. Otherwise, I've decided to write a script that tar's "bite-sized" chunks of my file system to files, then ftp those files to remote WinNT machines for safe keeping. Not the best backup scheme in the world. Maybe I can convince them to buy a tape backup for a couple hundred bucks? -- Doug Subject: Re: tar to ftp site > > > why make your job differcult when you can use the command below? > > man dump > > > > > On Thu, 01 Jun 2000, Doug Poland wrote: > > Hello, > > > > This may be a stupid question, but here goes... > > > > Can I create a tar file and pipe it through to > > an ftp connection? > > > > What I'm trying to accomplish is a complete > > backup of a FreeBSD box on a Novell LAN.
