Seriously, you should use rsync. One user states that "rsync is everything that ftp (ie curl, wget, etc) ought to have been". It is also much faster downloading a new version with unchanged name by using a special incremental download and update-in-place technique that none of the ftp or html downloaders have. See "man rsync". -- Ron. [Melbourne, Australia] Web site: http://www.ains.net.au/~ronst/
