I am writing a command-line script. One of the step is to
use ftp command to get a folder (this folder contains
folders, files) from a ftp deamon.

But looks like "ftp" command doesn't support getting a
folder.

I tried:
ftp *
ftp *.*
ftp FolderName

but none of them work, obviously.

I've done lots of Googling, but couldn't find an answer.

I just hope I get lucky if someone happen to know a way to
do this using ftp command or maybe another method.

Thank you very much.

Click to expand...

First, turn off prompting, with the "prompt" FTP command, or by running ftp
with the "-i" parameter. Then use the "mget" (Multiple GET) command on your
wildcard specification.

Alun.
