On an offhand guess, your shell is handling the wildcards. Have you tried escaping them? -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I have used wildcards with no problem with FTP, but only within a single directory at a time. I have never used it in a recursive situation like you indicate, so, don't know about that. jerry > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: wildcard usage in fetch
fetch -avrpAFU ftp://loginid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/IDX/ActivePhotos/*/*.* The /*/ directory is 2 positions in size and contains 00 through 99 as directory names. The *.* means all files in this directory. When I execute this I get logged in but get file not found or not available error message. Is wildcard usage not allowed in ftp? How would you suggest to accomplish downloading source file directory structure and their contents? You might look into curl. I know it has some wildcarding capabilities. I haven't done ftp'ing around in a while. But a long time ago, when I did, I used ncftp. That does wildcarding iirc.
