I don't think the default FreeBSD's ftp client supports that, but there are many utilities in the ports collection that will do it. Some examples are lftp's mirror command, wget's "-r" (or "--recursive") option, etc (ncftp -?). Also some servers run smart daemons, so you can say "get somdir.tar", or "get somedir.tar.gz" and get an archive containing the dir and its subdirs automagically (ftp.xemacs.org is like this, for instance). As for the specific options, you will have to look at the man/info pages for whatever command you end up deciding on. -- Evgeny Roubinchtein, eroubinc@u.washington.edu ...................
