Subject: ftp question
Greetings,
I am trying to use ftp to get a directory and all its files/subdirectorys
in
one
fell swoop. There are a few hundred files, so doing it one get at a time
isn't
going to fly.
Can this be done from the command line ? I looked into ports but the
search
didn't turn up much. This must be a common problem.
(Do I have to tar it to an archive, then ftp the archive and decompress ?)
thanks,
Darryl
