Create a local tree that looks like the one you want. Then connect with ftp, set the type to binary (just type in "binary"), and turn the interactive prompting off (type "prompt"). Then mget the tree with wildcards. It will get everything it has a directory for. To make a directory with a space: % mkdir "This has a space". Admittedly, this is the manual approach to mirroring. -- Kris Kirby UAH Mail <kirbyk@email.uah.edu> UAH CS <kkirby@cs.uah.edu> Home <kris@airnet.net> WWW <nomurphy@hotmail.com> ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD...
