FTP MGET seems the way to go, but my first effort yielded files with just the member name as file name. I want member.txt so that I can look at them conveniently. Can't get anything to work. Last try was this. Each operand is surrounded by blanks. ftp> mget -i *.* *.txt No members found. ** is not preceded or followed by a period or blank. ** is not preceded or followed by a period or blank. 200 Representation type is Ascii NonPrint Cannot find list of remote files. . . .
