Have you looked at ncftp? It's bundled with the system. Try, for example: ncftp ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE/README > A second utility returns the directory listing from a particular point > > ftpdir host path This is one thing that ncftp *won't* to, and would be useful. Actually, it would be kind of nice to be able to add it to ncftp! Perhaps if -I was set, it could assume that you REALLY didn't want to go into interactive mode and it should simple do the next logical thing? Actually, ncftp goes into interactive mode a little too easily for my tastes anyway. I don't like it kicking up on errors and wedging my port builds! :-( But that's another problem.. Jordan
