forgive me, but I'm not a C-programmer - nevertheless I've got a request:
I've done a boot disk to recover a hdd image from a ftp-server and put it on
a harddrive using busybox and wget (unfortunately there is no CD-Rom in any
of the computers). It works quite well but I'm in need to save a copy of the
hdd image on the ftp-server as well. The memory is limited, therefore I'm
looking for a kind of ftpput from stdin. An accompanying ftpget to stdout
would be nice as well, because wget is a little bit big for my taste (I
don't need all the fancy stuff).
If nobody sees the need of this a hint to a tnftp (ftp client of *BSD) that
is compilable under linux with uclibc or any similar project I might use is
highly appreciated.
P.S.: I know, it contradicts the approach to get the binaries to be small as
possible, but a progressmeter for dd would be a nice touch as well,
especially when using huge images - yes, I know about partimage, but that's
not an option for now.
