[R] download and save all files from FTP site?

[Anika Masters]

What are good ways, within R, to download all files (perhaps including
folders/directories?) from an FTP site and then save these files to a local
hard drive? Is try(getURL) {RCurl} and save() the best functions to
utilize?  Any other suggestions?

Hi Anika,

Depending on your definition of within R, you might try

system(wget -r URL)
