Sorry, but I just ftp'd a directory less than 10 seconds ago using this technique. Note that "directory" must be within the *current* directory -- you can't just specify an arbitrary path to one (I think?) For example, I did: cd pub/FreeBSD get docs.tar and all went well... You can also do get docs.tar.gz to get the tarball sent to you gzip'ed... > is there another way? for now I'm using mget, but the man page > specifically says that mget is not how it's done.... --don
