Its homepage and manpage both describe it as a wget-like FTP uploader. ### Projektgeschichte The upstream ChangeLog records early development by Hagen Fritsch, including wput-0.2 on 2003-01-06 and a long redesign period from 2004-04-24 to 2004-08-04 that added multiple URL/file input, proxy support, wgetrc-style configuration, resume/skip/upload behavior, and improved username/password handling. The 0.6 series followed in 2006, and wput-0.6.2 in 2008 added fixes for files larger than 2 GB, Haiku support, translations, and an option to disable TLS for buggy FTPS servers. The project's later changelog entries show maintenance rather than reinvention: crash fixes, proxy error fixes, chmod support, and portability work. That history matches its niche as a small Unix networking tool whose value comes from predictable command-line behavior. ### Adoptionsgeschichte wput's adoption niche is administrators and scripts that need non-interactive FTP uploads with retry, resume, timestamping, proxy, and bandwidth-limit support. SourceForge's project description lists those same features, and Debian, Homebrew, MacPorts, and other package systems have carried it because it fills the upload-side gap left by wget. ### Wie es verwendet wird Users call wput with local files and ftp:// URLs, or feed URLs and filenames from an input file. The manpage documents background operation, logging, retries, resume handling, timestamp checks, proxy modes, rate limiting, ASCII/binary transfer selection, and forced TLS. In practice, wput is used in shell scripts and cron jobs where an interactive FTP client would be awkward: mirroring generated files upward, publishing directories to legacy FTP hosting, or resuming large uploads over unreliable links. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren wput is a classic small-tool package: one job, a familiar interface, and enough reliability knobs for scripts. It is historically interesting because it mirrors wget's user experience for the less glamorous opposite direction, FTP upload, and because that made it packageable as infrastructure rather than an application. ### Zeitleiste - 2003-01-06: Upstream ChangeLog records wput-0.2. - 2004-04 to 2004-08: Major redesign adds queueing, proxy support, config behavior, and resume/skip/upload handling. - 2006-04-04: wput-0.6 release appears in the ChangeLog. - 2008-07-26: wdel helper for deleting remote files/directories is added. - 2008-09-27: wput-0.6.2 release fixes large-file and portability issues. ### Related projects - wget is the obvious conceptual sibling: wput deliberately copies the wget-like command-line model for uploading. - wdel is the related helper added by the wput project for deleting remote FTP files or directories. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise Für wput wurde kein passendes lokales Secret-Handling-Manifest gefunden.
