Rget is intended to continue an interrupted transfer, not sync a
folder that already exists. I've actually not tried to sync folders
via ftp the way you are doing. Normally, a perl/bash script would be
run on the host system (in this case, yours) comparing the two
folders, then ftp is used to move just the needed files, but it's used
as a separate process, not as an integrated whole solution. However,
it may be possible to use wget to do what you want, something like
wget -m -np
might do the trick, but that's off the top of my head, so case might
be off (I.E. may need a capital m instead of lower case), and you may
or may not need the -np parameter. In any case, if wget won't do the
job, you can always try a program called mirror, which is written in
perl, and is used by folks all over the world to keep sites in sync,
folks such as the project gutenberg, so you know it's in heavy use.
Mirror can be gotten from the perl cpan repository, or you can
probably google it if you need it via a web download, but honestly,
I'd expect one of those two solutions (wget or mirror) to do the trick
for you.

Ok here you go with a bit of a challenge.
I have a folder I was coppying from my server to someone's linode,
with their permission. I changed some of the folder's contents on my
server but when I redoo get -R dirname it does not copy the newer
folder's contents over. I verified thsi with an ls at the folder in
which I made the change on this person's linode. What do I need to
do to do this with ncftp? I know I'm close but googling right now is
not helping. Maybe because I'm kind of still a bit jetlaggy. lol!
Tc all.
