There are two parsing issues. 1 Asterisks are expanded to matching filenames by the command line interpreter. Depending on version even if quoted. 2 Placing a backslash before a double quote escapes it I didn't check your other arguments but what you want is probably this "C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe" -N -c -S -r -l 0 -k -p -w 1 -x -t 0 -np --preserve-permissions --user=anonymous [email protected] -P "I:\host_stuff" -a "I:\Logs\wGet\wget.log" "ftp://ftp.host.domain.com/dir1/db/"; no asterisk if you want to accept all files no backslash before the quote. if you really needed to pass I:\host_stuff\ you would pass "I:\host_stuff\\" the log names are not generated automatically you must choose a name also related: a quoting issue came up in the gnuwin32 help forum recently. I wrote a simple program getargs to demonstrate how command line arguments will be seen by a gcc compiled C program after the command line is parsed. if you want a better understanding read this https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/forums/forum/74807/topic/4550522 ----- Original Message ---- > From: J.
