Hi All

Does anyone know in ftp in dos (under xp) how to use the GET command to
transfer all files in a directory ? or all files with a certain
extension ? Tried various ways but cant get it to work.

Thanks

Isn't it MGET?

mget is used for multiple file GETs with/without masks (* or ?.)

It can't be done using the "GET" command.
Try using the "MGET" command.
You may want to issue the PROMPT command first.

Thanks problem sorted now did it as follows :

mget back*.sql

To get all files that start with back and end in .sql.

Thanks all...
