I think you're making it too complex. Your ftp server will do text files in ASCII mode, right? So, get ncftp (I'm sure there's a cygwin port, so you can install it under Windows too), and do something like ncftp site cd /directory ascii get -R tree Or, for that matter, I'm sure there are Windows-native FTP interfaces that both let you set ASCII mode and slurp a whole tree at a time.
