Re: download directories in ftp?
* Rohan Deshpande [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2001.10.19 15:20:29-0500]: Just wondering if there was a way to download full directories and their contents from remote places in the program 'ftp'. In the directory containing the directories and the contents that I want, i tried 'get *' but it wouldn't work .. any ideas? mget * but make sure to start ftp with the -i option or you will be asked for every file. also, have a look at ncftp, which is much better and allows recursive downloads... -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \ echo mailto: !#^.*|tr * mailto:; [EMAIL PROTECTED] i am willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them. pgphe128F1RUM.pgp Description: PGP signature

You're probably looking for somehting along the lines of $ wget -mirror ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/your/path/here/ Optionally, you can add a -quiet flag and amp it off to the background. Be sure you execute this in the directory you want the files to be in before you start. -- Baloo

Just wondering if there was a way to download full directories and their contents from remote places in the program 'ftp'. In the directory containing the directories and the contents that I want, i tried 'get *' but it wouldn't work .. any ideas? I believe ncftp (a nicer version of ftp) has an 'mget' option which, I think, is for 'multiple get'. Hall
