[Duplicity-talk] Using -z option in ncftpput

[Pascal Levasseur]

Hello all,

I would like to know if I can use the -z option (resume transfert) in
the ncftpput command used by Duplicity without any bad side effect(s) ?

I have patched the Python code of Duplicity 0.5.17 (ftpbackend.py) to
add this option and the option is displayed on the terminal output of
Duplicity :

Running 'ncftpput
-f /home/pascal/tmp/duplicity-Ker_ko-tempdir/mkstemp--d1vOQ-1 -F -t 30
-o useCLNT=0,useHELP_SITE=0  -m -z -V -C
'/home/pascal/tmp/duplicity-Ker_ko-tempdir/mktemp-SR4wV0-10'
'duplicity-full.20090521T072837Z.vol7.difftar.gpg'' (attempt #1)

By the way I have not used wireshark to be sure that ncftpput and the
ftp server really agree to resume the tranfert...

Since few weeks I have a very unstable ADSL link and Duplicity takes
forever due to a lot of retry, so I try to mitigate this by using the -z
option.

Thanks for your advices.
