When getting a remote ftp file that exists in the local destination
ncftpget
says that
local file appears to be the same as the remote file, download is not necessary.
What does appears
mean? How does ncftpget
check if this is the same file?
It seems that it compares time and size of the file. But does it compare content or at least checksum?
Is there a way to force to overwrite the existing file. Of course other than remove it first.
