To throw fuel on the fire, consider ncftp: --8<---------:- snip -:---------8<---------:- snip -:---------8<-- <dmg@jolt[~]> ncftp NcFTP 3.1.5 (Oct 13, 2002) by Mike Gleason (ncftp@ncftp.com). ncftp> quit Thank you for using NcFTP Client. Ask your system administrator to try NcFTPd Server! http://www.ncftpd.com <dmg@jolt[~]> --8<---------:- snip -:---------8<---------:- snip -:---------8<-- NcFTPd is non-free. The message shows up every 7 runs, or never if 'yes-i-know-about-NcFTPd=yes' in your ~/.ncftp/prefs_v3 file. (main.c:355). Maybe adding a similar option to cdrecord might be a nicer compromise?
