I cant remember how to do this, but using text, what is the command to FTP everything in a directory instead of 1 file at a time.
Thanks.
Thanks.

WoodShedd 07-08-2002, 11:58 PM enter the directory locally, then ftp ftp://user:pass@yourhost.com ftp> mput *.* goodness0001 07-09-2002, 12:12 AM I am going to try the mget/mput command and see if it does all the files. I think it always stopped after the first file, its kind of annoying and i was sure there was a way. GH_Dave 07-09-2002, 12:19 AM You may need to do 'mget *' if you have files with no dot in them. You will have to hit 'y' for yes on each file (at least I have to) and it won't recurse and get subdirectories, you'll have to grab the contents individually :( Dave goodness0001 07-09-2002, 12:25 AM Yes i see that you do have to hit yes, which almost defeats the purpose, the idea is to FTP multiple large files without nursing it. I wonder if you can suppress the question. secludo 07-09-2002, 02:23 AM First type the word "prompt" and then do mget or mput, then type "prompt" again if you want to turn it back on. chris1cbs 07-09-2002, 10:56 AM I could be wrong, but I think if you start ftp with a -i switch, it supresses the "yes prompt". RRolfe 07-09-2002, 12:15 PM wow i was right... it was mget...
