Yes, I see that now -- sorry for the misdirection. As I also mentioned wget, I thought I'd at least throw in how to snag the files that way without the deleted files along with: $ wget --user=<ftpuser> --ask-password --recursive --reject '*del-*,.flock,.lastmod,.pageindex' 'ftp://server/path/to/wiki.d/*' As it's not grabbing the deleted files, which seems to be what's causing the timeout problem in downloading, this shouldn't be a problem. After the files are downloaded, blowing away the Comments directory and remaking it again should be able to get rid of all those deleted pages. Then the Comments directory can be put back with normal ftp. lftp is also good, I didn't know about it before --thanks for pointing it out. I'm not sure what systems it exists on (at least on Debian-based ones). It's available for OSX in the fink distro as well. (Not native Darwin.) _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
