[NTLUG:Discuss] ftp multiple files

[severian@pobox.com]

Howdy,
   I suggest you look at wget.  It is likely already installed on you Linux 
machine.  For example, to download every jpeg from a directory at an ftp 
server, you would go to a terminal window and type:
     wget ftp://ftp.ntlug.org/prettypictures/*.jpg
wget is the fastest ftp transfer agent I have used.  It does two things 
real well.  One is getting all the files in a directory, like above.  The 
other is resuming transfers of big files where you lost a connection.  It 
is not the only way to do either of these, but it works well.
Good luck,
Ralph Green, Jr.
