Some interesting explanations. I'm sure I've used wget ftp://example.com/file* and it worked. In fact I just tested it and it worked (on WinXP with wget.exe from unxutils). I did the same test with wget ftp://example.com/file[0-9] and it also worked. The files I was downloading were log files so there were only 0-6. No errors about 7-9 not existing. Maybe it is a difference between cmd.exe and bash? -- Later David Kirk
