The wget command is one of my favorites, and it is available for Windows, but from my reading of the man page, wget only does binary transfers, not text/ASCII ones. So, Jim would wind up with EBCDIC on his Linux/390 system, not ASCII.

It will do recursive ftp "gets". On Windows, you are on your own <grin>. Of course, you could use "wget" to get it to Linux (converting to ASCII), then use zip or tar on Linux to bundle it up, then ftp to get the tar file to Windows. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team +1.817.255.3225 This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
