Max, The newer versions of wget support VMS ftp servers for sure. As I understand it, a separate piece of code was written to deal with them. The syntax for navigating a VMS ftp server is a bit strange, e.g., to change directories:
cd [level1.level2] To change disks: cd disk1:[level1.level2] However, the piece of code written in wget to allow for VMS ftp (with the exception of changing disks) allows one to use the usual UNIX style: wget ftp://vmssite.com/level1/level2/filename BUT, evidently (as far as I know), it does not support changing of disks. Does anyone else know about this?
