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?
