Jan (or anyone), is this paragraph in 1.7-dev's wget.texi: You may have to quote the @sc{url} to protect it from being expanded by your shell. Globbing makes Wget look for a directory listing, which is system-specific. This is why it currently works only with Unix @sc{ftp} servers (and the ones emulating Unix @code{ls} output). still accurate? If not, what should it read now (w.r.t. non-UNIX servers)? --------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Harkless | To help prevent SPAM contamination, GNU Wget co-maintainer | please do not mention this email http://sunsite.dk/wget/ | address in Usenet posts -- thank you.
