I'm not sure why I hadn't seen it before, I'm still a newbie but I've read a lot. To get a file from a public FTP server, just change to the directory you want to put the file in, and type in "fetch ftp://path/to/file.i.want" and it performs the download for you. No ftp commands, no starting up Lynx, just one easy command! Sad to say but this could change my life :P __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
