Re: FTP An entire lib

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Or, as others have said, to get them all. use mget *.savf. Also, be sure to 
change to binary mode.

In Windows a script can be written to do this, and there is an option on 
the ftp command to name this script. The issue is the user ID and password. 
I usually make a BAT file that accepts the user id and password as 
parameters, then builds the script with "echo" commands redirected to that 
script (> for the first line, to create the script, >> to add more lines), 
and then execute ftp, finally deleting the script to get rid of hard-coded 
login data. You could redirect output of the ftp command to a log file, 
then analyze it.

Not so hard as it seems. IIRC, there's a possible gotcha - you might need 
to put user id and password on the same line, with a space between. Or they 
need to be on separate lines. One is the right way - I forget.
