Probably so, but I just used that to DL a directory tree and it tried (unsuccessfully) to change the permissions of the "." directory which it couldn't because ".." was not mine to change. (I was expecting it to put the directory I named into ".", not its contents.) Rambling on: I'm sure there are several easy ways around the problem, but I wish it had reported the otherwise-successful DLing so I needn't have wasted time determining that. (It wasn't obvious since the DL was much smaller than I expected.) I guess I should do my duty and write up an enhancement suggestion.
