mget in ncftp

[MatthewP]

I'd like to be able to ftp an entire web site to it's new server in one go using ncftp, but using 'mget *' only gets the regular files, and I'd like to get the sub-directories too. Do I have to execute this command in each directory, or is there some way I can get all the sub directories too? Can ncftp be scripted somehow to do this?

Thanks,
Matt.

ncftp doesn't have an explicit mget command. Just use get. ncftp's get command has a lot more functionality, including a "-R" option for recursive gets.

run ncftp (even without connecting) and issue the command "help get" for more info. Perfection in engineering does not happen when there is nothing more to add. Rather it happens when there is nothing more to take away.
