1. What is cwftp?

cwftp is a simple mirror programm written completly in C++, so you don't need perl or anything else to run it. See the manpage for usage.

Until now, cwftp is completly command-line configured, so you don't have to create a configuration file. I might add configuration file support in the future.

There is minimal support for storing files on a FTP server too (I need that for a very special task at MedIS.DE).

2. Installation

Check for the latest version of cwftp. You should find cwftp at

http://ftp.hanse.de/sites/transit/cwftp/cwftp-<version>.tar.gz

Copy your favorite Makefile from one of the templates and change it as needed. Than run make and make install. If you have any problems compiling cwftp please report!
