I believe it would be much less painless to use the ncftp(1) program's "colon-mode" than it would be to port fetch(1). If this has to do with your previous question, just prefix the ncftp(1) command with nohup(1). For example, nohup ncftp ftp.somewhere.edu:/pub/myfile You can check nohup.out for pertinent messages. If you use wildcards for file names, be sure to escape them from your shell. -- Regards, Norm
