ftp commands

Hi all,

I'm looking for a command for DOS ftp which copies whole directory structures. I know about 'mput' but is there something similar for folders and not just files?

cheers!

I know you can supress individual file prompts if you are using mput plus a wildcard by adding the -i switch to the original FTP initialization command but the only way I can thnk of to move and entire directory will all of its subdirectories would be to create a zip archive containing an entire directory structure and then ftp just that one zipped file. This seems both convenient and additionally saving tim and bandwith.

I haven't used manual ftp in a very long time, but try the command recurse ,use it the same way as hash or prompt. I might be mixed up with the smbclient program on Linux.

There is no standard way under ftp to send multiple directories. Special ftp clients do the smarts and issue multiple mget and mput commands for you. mdir will list multiple remote directories.
