curl ftp script
Hello - I'm a novice, so apologies if this is a stupid/answered question.
I'm operating on a mac, and I'm using ftp to transfer files to my computer. The files have atypical names, although I have a list of them, addresses included. Is there a way to automate this using curl?
That is to write a script with curl that does 1. ftp to a password-protected account, 2. read in list of files, 3. get the files. I've spent a few hours reading the curl man page and experimenting, but I'm just as lost as a few hours ago. I'm copying over hundreds of files...
Thanks in advance.
