In windows you can specify a file containing all the files that you want downloaded. Can I do the same on Unix Of course you can: ftp some.server.com EOF username password cd /some/directory get file1 get file2 EOF This is called a 'here is' document. But really it's much easier to just use fetch. See the fetch(1) man page. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"

Put all URLs in a text file one/line and execute wget, i.e. wget -i inputfile ftp:// See wget -h for more useful options.

I need to do fequent ftp downloads. I would like to put this in the crontab if possible. There is also the "mirror" port in /usr/ports/ftp. Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
