Yes.... in a manner of speaking. ;-)
Drop the "g:\\dos\\ada\\" from the above example.
Use "$w" in it's place. (no quotes)
Now you can go to "Options/Local settings" and change the destination
directory without editing mime.cfg (change the D/L dir)
Remember to change it back before attempting to D/L other stuff.
(remove those 2 lines from mime.cfg to stop ZIPs from being auto-saved)
We will still need to create the directories before-hand.
I'll be uploading a ZIP file in just a few min.
Create a "base directory" and then unzip the file to it with:
pkunzip -d letmis_d.zip g:\dos\
(_______________________^^^^^^^__ specify *your* drive and "base dir")
This ZIP has only the directory structure stored in it.
