SCP -r from Secure FTP site
Hi all,
My problem is simple. I would like to download the contents of a directory on an ftp site. I can access the site through windows, but there are many files and it would be too tedious to click and download each file. Thus, I am trying to use
scp -r username@xx.xx.xxx.xxx:/directory .
but this is not working. I am not being prompt for a password, and the connection is timing out.
I can access the ftp site through windows internet explorer fine. The address is in the form
https://xx.xx.xxx.xxx/directory
I am kind of new at this so I think I might be missing a step or something.
Thanks, in advanced.
