[Asterisk-Users] Re: Asterisk Native Sounds - in case you missed it...

Thanks for the reference to http://winscp.sf.net/ .

I always thought that it was command line, so I have always either used wget or ftp as well.
I have another Linux box that I use for monitoring (mrtg and nagios) and a helpdesk system (orts) that I loaded samba on to do quick 
file edits,  but I know that samba is a resource hog. (I would never put it on an asterisk box)

I tried out winscp and love it.
The link to PUTTY is a nice feature as well.
And it was very easy for me to configure my favorite text editor (notepad++) .

May you have the peace and freedom that come from abandoning all hope of having a better past.

This was non-trivial for me also.  I prefer to right-click-copy the link
on the website, switch over to putty type in my wget (right-click), and
download the file directly to the box.  The link I tried on the sounds
page happily downloaded index.html (if memory serves).

I did go ahead and get the ulaw files the hard way...

FTP *to a linux box*?

/me is shocked!

You have ssh access, right? Use scp/sftp. Try http://winscp.sf.net/ . If
you don't one to carry one around or install on your system(s), put one
statically-linked copy on your file/web server and download/run it.

wget http://server.name/path/to/file
wget ftp://server.name/path/to/file

In fact, what I normally do is copy a link from my browser to the
command line in the terminal window and download it with wget. Saves me
an extra file copy around the net.

So for those who need exact commands, here's a two-liner:

wget
http://mirror.astlinux.org/sounds/asterisk-native-sounds-20060209-01-sln
.tar.bz2
tar xjf asterisk-native-sounds-20060209-01-sln.tar.bz2 -C
/var/lib/asterisk
