how Backup without encryption and compression
Hello, i want to back-up my whole /home/ folder and database to a FTP server, without compression or encryption. Just in a zip or tar so i can unpack it easily.
How can i do this, was trying duplicity but still difftar files. ]
Is there maybe a simple back-up script?

tar cvpf - $HOME | netcat
Not sure why you'd want to get into netcat for someone who is obviously not a super-technical user?
Maybe just:
And then you have a .tar to send. On the other side:
I believe it's possible to not compress with zip but...it's pointless since you can do that with tar and I don't feel like looking up the "turn off compression" flag for zip :-)
Now I'm wondering if BSD 4.3 had threads...I guess it probably did because I think that's the release where POSIX was stuffed in.
Use webdav and auto-publish it on your web site. Don't forget to make it SEO friendly.
Guess you didn't make it to USENIX that year.. https://www.usenix.org/legacy/publications/compsystems/1990/win_boykin.pdf
Is SSH an option? I can do that in one line.
Otherwise, a script involving ncftp is probably what is needed.
