Hello. I am trying to install a port (pine) via FTP. In the Handbook, it says that if, once logged on and in the proper directory I give ftp> get pine.tar then it will tar up that directory and get it. However, all that happens (which I, being the cynic, expected anyway) is pine.tar is not a file or a directory . So -- I don't want to give 8 million get and mget commands. Is there any way to do what I am trying to do, or is the whole thing just a big lie?
