It doesn't make sense to create a list of 140000-something files and try
to paste it somewhere. Instead, write a shell script that gets the file
list and download all files in the list.
Your script might look like this:
#!/bin/bash
$ curl -s ftp://user:pass@IP/path/to/folder/ | \
grep -e '^-' | awk '{ print $9 }' | \
while read f; do \
curl -O ftp://user:pass@IP/path/to/folder/$f; \
done
Save the script in a text file and do a chmod 755 on it to make an
executable file. Now let LiveCode launch the executable file. I think
the files will be downloaded to the defaultFolder or perhaps to the
location of the executable file .
If this is too much trouble, you might also save your current shell
command to a file and have LiveCode launch it.

Hello everyone,
I have never used LiveCode’s Shell command, and I was hoping that someone on
the forum might be able to give me an example of how to use it with cURL to
download a list of files from an FTP site. I have been using cURL to download
many files at a time from a given directory by pasting the code into Terminal
in OS X. The problem is that Terminal cannot handle a command that is too long.
This limits me to pasting no more than about 500 file paths at a time, but I
need to download about 145,000 files. That’s a fair bit of manual pasting. So
if someone could give me an example of using the Shell command with cURL, I’d
be much obliged.
Regards,
Gregory
