Well, omi _does_ recurse into subdirectories, but it might fail if the FTP server has an unusual output format, or otherwise behaves in unexpected ways. Sometimes "-o nostat" helps to work around it. Especially if the FTP server runs on some non-UNIX environment and the directory output does not look like an "ls -l", omi has trouble parsing it. I've seen FTP servers running on VMS or Novell Netware that looked _really_ weird. These are not supported by omi, I'm afraid. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
