I really like wget, which you can get from ftp.hilink.com.au:/pub/FreeBSD/ You just say wget -m -nH -r ftp://releng22.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2-970629-RELENG and it fetches the entire tree. One downside is that it creates the pub/FreeBSD under the current directory, as well as the 2.2-970629-RELENG/. To run it from cron, you would probably want to put it in a shell script which changes the directory etc. -q flag makes wget quiet. ------------------------- #!/bin/sh URL=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ DIR=~ftp cd $DIR wget -m -r -nH -q $URL ------------------------- Danny
