Local directories are what you're talking about when you mention "bash". If you mean remote, then you should say so and it's not wget which does the globbing but the ftp server. 10 bonus points to Carl for not using perl, but I suspect a simple loop in bash may be less error prone... :) Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
