I was wondering if ftp is able to download entire directories. I've read through the man page and didn't really find anything specific to downloading a selected directory. There was a note however, saying to use tar to tar a directory and then download that tar file. The problem is I do not have remote access to this particular ftp server. The only alternative that I could think of using is wget. Although I would prefer to use ftp. Thank you. This is for a perl script to basically check an ftp server every day, download what's new, and add the new items to a database to not download the same items again the next day. Eugene
