How to assure an resumes FTP until a download is complete
I have to sync a directory from a remote server. The FTP link is pretty fast, but for some unknown reason cannot finish an entire file in one ftp download, it always needs to resume to do it:
I would like to know if their is a program or script out their that will :
- download all latest files
- if transfer fails to resume until entire file is down
- maintain remote time stamp
Ideally
- be notified via email if a download is unsuccessful for an extended period (but to continue to try and download)
- be emailed when a download occurs
Unfortunately I cannot put rsync on the remote server or i would of done that. All i have is FTP
Thanks

He says "Unfortunately I cannot put rsync on the remote server" by that I guess he/she means he can not run rsync server n daemon mode but the comand I listd above will connectthe server over SSH and get files via SSH and would not need rsync run there in server mode.
This is a matter of interpretation :)

All participants have either mentioned tools that will be able to do this, or info that is correct (PsiCop), so ... split it any which way you want to:-).
The asker could have taken the time to go more in-depth with any of us, but chose not to... it seems.
Or we collectively missed the askers point totally, in which case this should be a delete/refund... but only the skaer can really tell us that:-)

Almost every server supports reget command. wget will use it if transfer was interrupted.
