[NTLUG:Discuss] ftp multiple files

[Jack Snodgrass]

use ( you may have to install it ) ncftp.
you can do something like
ncftpget ftp://ftp.somesite.com/pub/en/os/i386/*.rpm
and download all .rpm files from that site/directory.

You can do
ncftpls ftp://ftp.somesite.com/pub/en/os/i386
and get a listing.

You can do
ncftp ftp://ftp.somesite.com
and just login and issue the normal ftp commands.

ncftp also provides you with the status, estimated time
to completion, and bytes per second, etc on each transfer.

ncftp is 'the' program to use if you use ftp from the
command line.
