I have been trying to ftp the 4.5-install.iso file and keep getting the download interrupted. I read in the questions archives about using the FBSD command fetch as a replacement for FTP because it has resume capabilities to continue the download at the spot the downloaded file was interrupted. The man page info is very vague about how to use the fetch command. I am currently using this command in a script ftp -a -v ftp11.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.5/4.5-install.iso When I modify this command to this fetch -arvAF ftp11.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.5/README I get this error message fetch: README: Invalid URL scheme Questions What is wrong with my fetch command? Can I run all the flags together behind one -? Am I using the correct flags? Will this group of flags work for both the original download and the resume download? How does fetch know to resume a download where it left off? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
