min. number of FTP commands to get all files from a folder and all its subfolders

Thanks sparkymw!
Can I escape all confirmation questions for downloading each file?

i dont think so.

if you used a ftp program you could do it

Hi bessie,

mget -i *

Here is the full list of Windows FTP commands.  Might be better to put these commands into a file and use the -s switch...

mget -s:myFtpCommands.txt

Before logging onto ftp server, pull up a shell or dos window and change directory to the folder where you want to download to:

cd c:\temp

Then log onto ftp server by doing:
  ftp 192.168.0.23 ...opening

Then provide criteria:
  user (192.168.0.23):  myusername
  Password: mypassword

Change directory to the files you want
  cd /ftpfolder

Then "get" filename
  get myfilename
      or
  get *

Then close
  close

Lastly quit
  quit


cheers
rc

you may want to include:

"lcd c:\downloads" (or whatever) to tell it where to put the files too.

Max.
