I would like to ftp four files from a host.  The files are in a large 
directory, and are different such that wild cards won't do it.  If I write 
the following routine:

WGET -N -i Files.txt

where Files.txt is:

ftp://ftp.f-prot.is/pub/fp-def.zip
ftp://ftp.f-prot.is/pub/fp-def.asc
ftp://ftp.f-prot.is/pub/macrdef2.zip
ftp://ftp.f-prot.is/pub/nomacro.def

the process disconnects from the host after each transfer, and reconnects 
for the next transfer.

Is there a syntax such that I can connect to the host once, transfer the 
four files, and then disconnect?  If the host isn't "busy" it probably 
doesn't make any difference, but if the host is busy, one doesn't want to 
lose an established connection.

Thanks,

Fred Holmes
