Unfortunately, neither wget nor mirror seems capable of traversing nested directories recursively, if the directory names include spaces in them. E,g, if you feed wget -t0 -c -x --glob=on -r -S -T 180 -w0 ftp://one.two.three/"Directory one/Directory two/Directory three/*" (the '"'s are needed actually), then it successfully grabs the contents of Directory three, including files with names that contain spaces, however when it attempts to CWD into a "Directory four" contained therein, it can't seem to handle the space in the name, and fails to enter the directory or grab it's contents. Any other ideas? On Sun, Nov 29, 1998 at 12:32:20PM -0600, Dan Nelson wrote: > In the last episode (Nov 29), Larry S.
