I tried
rsync  ftp.twoguys.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/7.2/i586/Mandrake   Mandrake
but it response:
link_stat ftp.twoguys.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/7.2/i586/Mandrake : No such 
file or
directory

 I also tried
wget  ftp.twoguys.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/7.2/i586/Mandrake   Mandrake
fmirror  ftp.twoguys.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/7.2/i586/Mandrake   Mandrake
they all not work

so how should I get that directory in ftp site to my local directory?

hope to see your help soon
best regard
eric
