I wonder if there's (are) command(s) to reuse the connection, I
mean to avoid the process of authenticating when download 2 or more files
from the same server. For example, if I execute:
wget --passive-ftp -i download.txt -B ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
occurs that for every single file in download.txt, the client (wget)
logs-in close connection, instead of reusing the current FTP connection
for retrieving the next file (since it's already inside the ftp).
curl (http://curl.haxx.se/) offers multiple FTP downloads from the same site
similar to this, but re-uses the same connection as long as possible.
curl is however not a wget clone, so there will be features only wget can do,
and vice versa.
