FTP whole directories?

[Mike C]

I was wondering if there is anway to FTP whole directories. I want to
schedule FTP to downlaod an entire directory every night. I have tried
several 3rd party application with no luck. It seems windows FTP
command doesn't support wildcards.

Tried the mget command within the ftp client?

You can use the -s:[filename] switch to
run multiple commands from within the sessions

Try

ftp> mget *

Try

ftp> mget *

You will probably need to do the "prompt" command before mget.

ftp prompt (Turns off prompting for Yes or no for each file)
ftp mget *

Thanks. I got it working. The only issue I see is if there is a
glitch in connections, there is no recovery and you have to start over.
