Hi, I have problems downloading complete folders via ftp with R. Single files work fine. I tried Rcurl, but it does not work. This is my code:
url = "ftp://disc2.nascom.nasa.gov/data/TRMM/Gridded/Derived_Products/3B42_V6/Daily/2009/"; filenames = getURL(url, ftp.use.epsv = FALSE, ftplistonly = TRUE, crlf = TRUE) filenames = paste(url, strsplit(filenames, "\r*\n")[[1]], sep = "") no problems until here, I get a list with the files I want. But then, when I use: download.file(filenames, destfile="") I don't know how to tell R to use the same names for the destfiles als the filenames. If i use: con = getCurlHandle( ftp.use.epsv = FALSE) contents = sapply(filenames[1:5], getURL, curl = con) names(contents) = filenames[1:length(contents)] I get an "error in curlPerform". I know, it's easy to download ftp folders with appropriate programs, but i want to manage to get it work in R.... greets Martin -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/FTP-Download-tp2542359p2542359.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
