OK, call me ignorant, but I just _do not_ know how to do the equivalent of an `rcp -r' (recursive remote copy) that gets all of the files, all of the directories, and all of the sub-sub-sub-directories, starting from a given point on some remote FTP server. (Soory if this is a dumb question. I don't actually use FTP all that much.) Can you tell me how to do that (recursive get) using FTP? Will the FTP `mget' command do it for me? Also, remember that I'm trying to conserve bandwidth... of which I have relatively little. Is the stuff in the FTP directory that you just mentioned already compressed, or not? If not, there where can I FTP a compressed version of this same stuff? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
