Bup 0.33.7                                         2025-01-11                                         bup-ftp(1)

       Part of the bup(1) suite.

       The following commands are available inside bup ftp:

       ls [-s] [-a] [path]
              print the contents of a directory.  If no path argument is given, the current directory’s contents
              are listed.  If -a is given, also include hidden files (files which start with a . character).  If
              -s is given, each file is displayed with its hash from the bup archive to its left.

       cd dirname
              change to a different working directory

       pwd    print the path of the current working directory

       cat filenames...
              print the contents of one or more files to stdout

       get filenamelocalname
              download the contents of filename and save it to disk as localname.  If localname is omitted, uses
              filename as the local name.

       mget filenames...
              download  the  contents  of the given filenames and stores them to disk under the same names.  The
              filenames may contain Unix filename globs (*, ?, etc.)

       help   print a list of available commands

       quit   exit the bup ftp client

       bup  ftp  is  a  command-line  tool for navigating bup repositories.  It has commands similar to the Unix
       ftp(1) command.  The file hierarchy is the same as that shown by bup-fuse(1) and bup-ls(1).

       Note: if your system has the python-readline library installed, you can use the  <tab>  key  to  complete
       filenames while navigating your backup data.  This will save you a lot of typing.

              $ bup ftp
              bup> ls
              mybackup/    yourbackup/

              bup> cd mybackup/
              bup> ls
              2010-02-05-185507@   2010-02-05-185508@    latest@

              bup> cd latest/
              bup> ls
                (...etc...)

              bup> get myfile
              Saving 'myfile'
              bup> quit
