> What have I done wrong? Simple answer: you have used ftp. Considering the chaotic absent-minded design of ftp, it's only remarkable for its continuing widespread use. Basically, ftp is useful for downloading single files. For everything else, you want something better. I suggest rsync, it has a well-defined protocol, efficient implementation, more convenience options than you want to know about (but do get your head around its exclude/include handling), and optionally works over secure connections. If you're absolutely stuck with ftp, e.g. because your web hosting company is stupid, buy some straws, get a hamster, and use sitecopy. Good luck ;) Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
