Hi,
I tried to use mget *.* to pull all directories and files but this command is only picking up all files in the directory not the sub directory's , is there a diff way to use this command or am i making a dumb mistake.

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

trips

No, you're not making a mistake. There are some other posts addressing this issue. Here's a couple:

https://www.unix.com/unix-for-advanced-and-expert-users/8940-copying-files-between-2-unix-server.html?s=
https://www.unix.com/unix-for-advanced-and-expert-users/8784-ftp-nt-unix.html?s=

However, the man page for ftp says: "Note: mget and mput are not meant to transfer entire directory subtrees of files."
