Last night I had to restore file with size greater than 220GB from our backup FTP server to our main server after OS re installation.<\/p>\n

Now I could have simply done \u201cget\u201d after logging into ftp out server, but that would have required my machine to stay awake all night unattended. Seems simple but everything I tried didn’t seem to work .<\/p>\n

In comes curl, literally saved my night. With simple command written below I was able to transfer file from ftp server to local machine.<\/p>\n

[shell]\u00a0curl ftp:\/\/name:password@server\/file.tar > file.tar[\/shell]<\/p>\n

And then it was piece of cake running it in background with nohup<\/p>\n

[shell]nohup curl ftp:\/\/name:password@server\/file.tar > file.tar &[\/shell]<\/p>\n

Thanks to curl, me and my system were able to get good nights sleep \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
