awftp (1.3.4)

A FTP-style client for HCP Anywhere File Sync & Share

HCP Anywhere is a File Sync & Share solution developed by Hitachi Vantara. It offers a wide range of FS&S clients for Desktop computers, Mobile devices as well as Browsers. A lacking piece so far is a CLI client that allows to access HCP Anywhere on devices where no GUI is available (Linux servers, for example).

awftp tries to fill this gap by providing a look and feel as close as possible to well-known CLI-based ftp clients. The features available are a subset of what is offered by ftp clients, due to the functionality the HCP Anywhere FS&S service offers through its API; some other functions in ftp clients simply doesn’t make sense for use with HCP Anywhere. On the other hand, there are some features (snap, for example) not found with ftp…
