What is the option to force mget getting all the files without asking for verification?

There're bunch of files I need to get, and if there's an option to get them without having user intervention, that would be perfect.

Thanks,
Phuong
 
In your ftp session type prompt to turn off interactive prompting then mget *.txt or whatever to your heart's content. HTH.
 
thank you all. i was trying to get all the files and directories by using the command:
mget -r *

i got all the files, but still did not get any directories under that. What is right syntax to do mget and get all files+dirs?

Thanks,
 
I think you should consider using the GNU utility "wget" instead of ftp.
