asked on
FTP folder file backukp
I have a ftp server.
I update the data there from different locations.
Each user has their directory.
I want to write a script which I can schedule to backup my data.
I am on a windows XP box.
My Server is 2003.
The answer that can provide me with the scirpt will get the points.

Your script gets files only from that folder
It does not do a recursive ftp.

Your program works.
I like it,
but then, I try avoiding third party softares.
So, if adonis cant come up with a script by tommorrow,
You will have the points.

i did type in
ftp> get [space] -r *.*
thanks.
ftp> get [space] -r *.*
thanks.
i just looked at the MAN pages for ftp and it is not possible since the subdirectories are dependent on the file structure of the OS. So cany copy sub directories using ftp. so you can award -nn- if you wish.
