Hi,

I am looking for a way to transfer files using ftp from a remote site to my
current account.  In particular I need a command for ftp to recursively
retrieve all files in a directory as well as all files in all subdirectories,
not only the first level, but all levels below the current directory level,
i.e. the entire directory structure with all the files.  I tried mget but it
only retrieves files in the current directory and files in first level of
subdirectories, but nothing else.  Also, it doesn't reconstruct all the
subdirectories at my location.  So, how can I get an entire directory
structure with its files and reconstruct it exactly as it is at the remote
site?  E-mail would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Tom
