IIS Servers on NT systems, which have an ftp component have the ability to have DOS style or UNIX style directory listings. You might want to make sure that the UNIX style directory structure is set that way. It has been a while since I played with ftp, but I am fairly sure I remember using ncftp to get files from to my Linux box from my NT ftp server.
The other option, depending on how much control you have over this server is to install Cygwin tools which has rsync and a sshd implementation. -sp -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ganesh S Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 9:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [vox-tech] recursive ftp Thanks Mark. I just tried this but there is no response from ncftp after the mget. It seems like since my ftp server is a Windows NT machine which does not have a directory listing similar to unix (eg. The first char in the listing is NOT 'd' for a directory like in unix), these tools may not work (just my guess !). How will he change directory, if it is not able to figure out if it is a directory or not ! Am i missing something ?

Normally, you can use ncftp like a normal ftp, but you can also pass a recursive option (ie: `mget -r *`). You can write a script and pass appropriate commands, kind of like this: #!/bin/sh ncftp -u <username> <ftp.servername.serverdomain> <<EOF <password> bin mget -r / quit EOF Of course, you'll need ncftp installed, and make the script file executable. Be careful about your password being in the open. -Mark On Thu, 28 Feb 2002, Ganesh S wrote: > Hi, > I have a linux machine to which i would like to mirror a private ftp site on > a nightly basis.
