Michael Just keep in mind that FTP is really, really OLD. It was developed back in '71 before the new-fangled modern stuff like Unix and multi-level directories were in common use.

Thanks you all - will mget recurse directories under the current directory (keep recursing all the way down)?

You can also use one of my favorites, ncftp. It add extras in addition to the standard unix/linux ftp program, - giving you a description of how long the download, the speed and etc (the information you expect from gui ftp client) - autocomplete arguments using the "tab" key. I have directories that are incredibly long and this helped. Regardless, you can use mput or mget to fetch everything in the directory. - David -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Tim Johnston Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 2:10 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: OT: Does command-line FTP/SFTP have a "recurse" switch? How about turning off the prompt and doing an mput or mget? Will that meet your needs?
