NAME

6       bup-ftp - ftp-like client for navigating bup repositories
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bup ftp
10

DESCRIPTION

12       bup ftp is a command-line tool for navigating bup repositories.  It has
13       commands similar to the Unix ftp(1) command.  The file hierarchy is the
14       same as that shown by bup-fuse(1) and bup-ls(1).
15
16       Note: if your system has the python-readline library installed, you can
17       use the <tab> key to complete filenames while  navigating  your  backup
18       data.  This will save you a lot of typing.

COMMANDS

21       The following commands are available inside bup ftp:
22
23       ls [-s] [-a] [path]
24              print  the contents of a directory.  If no path argument is giv‐
25              en, the current directory's contents are listed.  If -a is  giv‐
26              en,  also include hidden files (files which start with a . char‐
27              acter).  If -s is given, each file is displayed  with  its  hash
28              from the bup archive to its left.
29
30       cd dirname
31              change to a different working directory
32
33       pwd    print the path of the current working directory
34
35       cat filenames...
36              print the contents of one or more files to stdout
37
38       get filename localname
39              download  the contents of filename and save it to disk as local‐
40              name.  If localname is omitted, uses filename as the local name.
41
42       mget filenames...
43              download the contents of the given filenames and stores them  to
44              disk under the same names.  The filenames may contain Unix file‐
45              name globs (*, ?, etc.)
46
47       help   print a list of available commands
48
49       quit   exit the bup ftp client
