how to get a whole directory through ftp?
 

hai all

is there any way to get a full directory through ftp .if yes what is the command?
.get command is not working.

thnakx

do you have rsync installed?
it may be possible with ftp but rsync was recommended at a recent lug meeting here as being superior.

start out with:
rsync -av --dry-run some.server.org::/path/tocopy /your/local/destinationPath

this won't do any damage but will give a total (ibelieve) byte count of what actually would be downloaded.

then remove --dry-run to get results.

or you could cd into the directory and do

mget *
