Hi Friends
I am facing one problem. I want to download the RPM file from the repository using ftp command. how i can do that?
For normal ftp
$>ftp abc.efh
mget *.rpm
but if I am using like that way it is giving error.
$>ftp download.opensuse.org
> ftp: connect :Unknown error number
ftp>
Please help
Thanks in advance
Joy
I don’t think download.opensuse.org allows ftp but only http (at least for ‘normal’ users).
Try a mirror, see Mirror Selection - openSUSE
Cheers.

HTTP is not an option? Check the mirror list Malcolm pointed you to; most mirrors show their folder structure in a web browser just fine, so you can click a file.

I can open the links through web browser and I can download it, clicking on that link. But I don’t why in my system I am not able to download it through ftp command.

Is that a corporate network? Many firewall admins allow FTP only for select users.
Uwe
Thanks Uwe. May be thats the case. I will try from other computer which is not under corporate network.
