What version of ncftp ? ncftp3 lists a bug as "Directory caching and recursive downloads depend on UNIX-like behavior of the remote host." The ncftp3 man pages also says that get -R will only work for some hosts, but put -R should work for all (dont ask me). So you could try ncftp3 on NT, maybe ? jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
