ftp command

[fathead]

how can I get an entire directory using ftp command line? I know mget will get multiple files, but will it also get the folders??/

and how can I mget without having to answer yes to every file?

the cammand line FTP is very basic. I'm not sure if it's possible to get multiple folders. If your doing that much downloading, i'd recommend a GUI based client.

Another option is to script a dos batch file, if it is always the same files and folder.

we had to do that here because other operators kept messing up when ftp'ing stuff to the bank. Just made a bunch of batch files so all they do is double click.
