Get complete folder with ftp
I am using ftp to get files from my xp machine and able to get files one by one but I want to get the whole folder. Say I have a folder docs so how can I get it on my linux machine while using ftp?
|
Do a "man ftp" and look for the mget command.

After logging in and navigating to the
directory, assuming command prompt here, bi prompt mget * or mget *.* (You may need the *.* being a windows machine.) RO |
How to give the target folder to mget *.* so the files should be copied to that folder on Linux server?

I usually navigate to the local directly that I want the files to come to before I FTP, however,
cd <dirname>/<dirname>/<etc> changed directory on the remote machine. lcd <dirname>/<dirname>/<etc> is how you navigate on the local machine once connected in ftp. cnjohnson had it right though, man ftp or found this useful reference http://www.columbia.edu/acis/eds/dat...n/ftp_com.html RO |
IMHO, it's worthwhile to get an easy to use graphical ftp program like gFTP . Then you can just drag and drop a folder :)

I am trying to get the GUI but very much interested in command line as want to learn Linux. Now when I am using mget it get all the files on the root of the folder but what about the subfolders?
On window box Soft --bin --docs --drivers so I want to get soft and all its subfolders with one command. |
