Subject: Implement the REST command (RESTART)
The REST command can be used to download a file starting from an offset. See: * https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc959 (RESTART / REST) * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FTP_commands * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12107637/command-line-ftp-client-with-rest-operator-support-to-download-a-part-of-file It is supported by "wget -c", "curl", etc. Please implement it. (With respect to our conversation on Freenode's #perl .) Regards, -- Shlomi Fish
Progress is moving, but slowly. REST(art) requires that the TYPE be set, and currently NaFTP doesn't actually do that. In attempting to add TYPE support as a prereq for this, I seem to have currently broken the unit tests. I'll see if I can get time sometime this week to work on it. -- Paul Evans
