ftp on Derecho

Hello there!

I previously used ftp on Cheyenne. Now, I attempted to use the FTP command on Derecho, but encountered the following message:

"If 'ftp' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf ftp"

Upon trying 'cnf ftp' as suggested, I received the following response:

"ftp: searching ...

Warning: no repos found - make sure your repositories are configured. ftp: command not found"

Does anyone know how to use FTP on Derecho?

Many thanks!

Try "ncftp" instead. I just did a quick check and it works to log you into an ftp site as 'anonymous'.

Hello! Thank you for your prompt response! I received a similar response while using "ncftp". Could I be doing something incorrectly?

ncftp

If 'ncftp' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:


cnf ncftp


module load ncftp (or module --ignore_cache load "ncftp")

Lmod has detected the following error: The following module(s) are unknown: "ncftp"

Appreciate your help!

Hello!

However, upon entering "which ncftp," I received the following result:

which: no ncftp in (/glade/u/apps/opt/conda/condabin:/glade/u/apps/derecho/23.06/spack/opt/spack/netcdf/4.9.2/oneapi/2023.0.0/iijr/bin:/glade/u/apps/derecho/23.06/spack/opt/spack/hdf5/1.12.2/oneapi/2023.0.0/d6xa/bin:/glade/u/apps/derecho/23.06/spack/opt/spack/ncarcompilers/1.0.0/oneapi/2023.0.0/ec7b/bin/mpi:/opt/cray/pe/pals/1.2.11/bin:/opt/cray/libfabric/1.15.2.0/bin:/opt/cray/pe/mpich/8.1.25/ofi/intel/19.0/bin:/opt/cray/pe/mpich/8.1.25/bin:/glade/u/apps/derecho/23.06/spack/opt/spack/ncarcompilers/1.0.0/oneapi/2023.0.0/ec7b/bin:/glade/u/apps/common/23.04/spack/opt/spack/intel-oneapi-compilers/2023.0.0/compiler/2023.0.0/linux/lib/oclfpga/bin:/glade/u/apps/common/23.04/spack/opt/spack/intel-oneapi-compilers/2023.0.0/compiler/2023.0.0/linux/bin/intel64:/glade/u/apps/common/23.04/spack/opt/spack/intel-oneapi-compilers/2023.0.0/compiler/2023.0.0/linux/bin:/opt/cray/pe/craype/2.7.20/bin:/glade/u/apps/derecho/23.06/opt/utils/bin:/opt/clmgr/sbin:/opt/clmgr/bin:/opt/sgi/sbin:/opt/sgi/bin:/glade/u/home/longei/.local/bin:/opt/c3/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/opt/pbs/bin:/glade/u/apps/derecho/23.06/opt/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/cray/pe/bin)

But, I have successfully installed FTP on my local MacBook and used it to download the necessary files I needed.

Thank you all the same!
