lftp is a simple, scriptable command-line ftp client that has a 'mirror' command and never gives up. E.g: lftp server.my.org <<EOF lcd /source/directory mirror -ev . /destination/directory/ EOF will get there even under the most adverse conditions (e.g., hang up & redial a different ISP). You can even exit lftp, and have your transfers continue in the background. John P. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mdt.net.au/~john Debian Linux admin & support:technical services
