Have you looked at ncftp? The `ncftpget` tool looks useful for you: $ ncftpget --help | egrep -i 'delete|recurs' -DD Delete remote file after successfully downloading it. -R Recursive mode; copy whole directory trees. -T Do not try to use TAR mode with Recursive mode. $ This should become a one line cron job now. -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
