downloading rpms without browser
I'm new to Linux, so you may have to excuse this question, but....
isn't there a way to download an rpm from a ftp site without having a browser installed on the system. I can look up the urls on another machine, but instead of having to burn each new rpm i need onto a cd... Redhat specifically. Thanks- Mac |

well if you have access to a terminal on the machine then all you need to do is make sure you have a net connection then login and type:
ftp domainname.com then login in anonymously or supply a u/pw and browse to the rpm file directory, you can use the cd command or if it doesn't work just type help for a list of possible commands. once in the directory containg the rpm file type: get whatever.rpm /the/directory/to/where/you/want/it then just type quit to exit the ftp and run the rpm

if you don't have a ftp-client...
try "wget yourURL" p.s. ncftp is much better than ftp ![]() |

just use lynx
lynx is a text-based browser... if u are behind a firewall, see its config file (/etc/lynx.cfg) for configuration. read man page for more info... USAGE: lynx <url> (ftp or html) or <file> /r0d Last edited by r0d : March 1st, 2002 at 06:37 AM. |

Some redhat systems don't install lynx by default, they use 'links' instead, so if 'lynx' doesn't give you any love, try the other one.
I think lynx is actually better, but links renders tables. |
