[Samba] Keeping your code current via wget through an ftp proxy

I've recently figured out something that others
may find useful...we have an ftp proxy, and I couldn't
get cvs to work through it. I finally got wget
working, and can now mirror my source to the
current samba_2_2 version by downloading
only the newer files. Then I can run
./configure, etc to update my system.
-----------------------------------------------------
The command line is in a text file named wget1.
I run it from my /eodc/shared/samba_2_2/source
dir, by cd'ing to /eodc/shared/samba_2_2/source,
then running ./wget1
Note that it's run from 4 dir's down; this
is why I have "--cut-dirs=4"; so that the files
end up in the same dir that I'm in. (If you
set yours up with /22x_source, you'd make it
"--cut-dirs=1")
The "-nH" strips off the host info (pserver.samba.org).
The "-S" displays server responses
The "-m" is to mirror the source/destination dir's.
According to WS-FTP Pro, our ftp proxy is a
"User, no login" type. Yours may be different, so
you may have to play with the command line to get
wget to work. Believe me, I played for a while
before I got it right!
For us, we log in to the local ftp proxy with: the
REMOTE ftp user and ftp site hostname/IP. The password is
our e-mail address. The proxy passes that info on to
the remote ftp site, and we're off and running.
The destination directory is appended to the proxy
IP:port, and passed on to the remote ftp server.
Here's what works, with a bogus IP...substitute your
proxy info and e-mail address:
wget -nH --cut-dirs=4 -S -m
ftp://anonymous@pserver.samba.org:my-address@company.com@192.168.254.1:21/pu
b/unpacked/samba_2_2/source
Hope this helps someone...
Jim
