Sudo binary package with compiled for STD and PAM authentification, no deps on rpm if choose bff package https://www.sudo.ws/download.html#binary

Python… http://download.aixtools.net/

You have multiple choices, Download Director, ftps, https

If you choose ftps, then you can also use sftp

sftp -o "ProxyCommand connect-proxy -H proxy.ABCD.com:80 %h %p" wakao@delivery04.dhe.ibm.com
then: mget *

Often the only usable protocol is https, but with many files to download it can be boring!

On solution is to choose https, and save the page as .htm

Then extract using a script the filename and location, and start the download with curl or wget

Ex:

Using WGET

export https_proxy=http://proxy1:8080/
cnt=0
for i in $(grep bff aix7200.htm | cut -d'href' -f2- | cut -d ' ' -f1 | sed 's/"/\ /g' | awk '{print $2}' | sort -u)
do
  echo "################### $i  $cnt "
  (( cnt = cnt + 1 ))
  filename=$(echo $i | rev | cut -d'/' -f1 | rev)
  if [ -f $filename ]
  then
    echo "==== file exist"
  else
    wget -e use_proxy=on --no-check-certificate --debug --no-glob --show-progress $i
  fi
done

Using CURL

export https_proxy=http://proxy1:8080/
cnt=0
for i in $(grep bff aix7200.htm | cut -d'href' -f2- | cut -d ' ' -f1 | sed 's/"/\ /g' | awk '{print $2}' | sort -u)
do
  echo "################### $i  $cnt "
  (( cnt = cnt + 1 ))
  filename=$(echo $i | rev | cut -d'/' -f1 | rev)
  if [ -f $filename ]
  then
    echo "==== file exist"
  else
    curl --insecure --proxy proxy1:8080 $i -o $filename
  fi
done

Using Recursive commands

Example of download using WGET recursively on 3 level

wget -r -l3 --no-parent https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/

Example of download using LFTP

lftp -c "open http://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/; mirror"
