uwi, > I need an ftp client that can download stuff in the background. You can use "ftp" non-interactively, however the native tool set includes fetch, which will probably be more useful to you. See ftp(1) and fetch(1). If you look in the ports collection, there is a whole category for ftp which has many ftp clients of all shapes, sizes and colours. As if all that wasn't enough, the Perl LWP module includes tools like "lwp-download" which can handle simple requests. -Andrew- -- _______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
