As a matter of fact, the feature is documented well in the section AUTO-FETCHING FILES of lukem's ftp(1), though no words are said on how it differs from the older FreeBSD ftp client, naturally. We can create a customized manpage version that will explicitly describe the difference.

I must admit that I overlooked this feature in lukemftp. In fact, lukemftp can download multiple files specified as a wildcard via ftp. However, lukemftp accepts wildcards only in the "classic" ftp file specification, i.e., host:path/file, and not in URLs. Do you think the ability to use command-line wildcards should be extended to URLs as well? Luke Mewburn may be convinced to do that in his ftp client.

As far as I can see, this is a client-side problem of CURRENT's ftp(1). FreeBSD ftp(1) was completely replaced with "lukemftp," ftp client from NetBSD, in CURRENT a year ago. The commit message was promising: ...Lukemftp supports most of the previous features of FreeBSD ftp, but has been better maintained and includes new features. Unfortunately, this particular feature doesn't fall into that most; "lukemftp" can't seem to detect a glob pattern on the command line. It is said that lukem@netbsd is very responsive, so the matter depends on finding somebody to make a patch and sumbit it to him, and waiting until the patch is merged back to our src/contrib/ along with other "lukemftp" updates. If the advocates of "lukemftp" don't do the job, I think I will do it by myself since I've already volunteered to look after ftpd(8). -- Yar To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

FTP and command-line multiple downloads
Since upgrading bento to running 5.0, it appears that I can no longer download multiple files from a FTP server by specifying a glob pattern on the command-line: e.g. /usr/bin/ftp -4a ftp://snapshots.jp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/alpha/5-LATEST/base/base.\?\? [...] 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply. Remote system type is UNIX.
