Wrong tool for the job. Go check out wget and it's man page. You're probably looking for somehting along the lines of $ wget -mirror ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/your/path/here/ Optionally, you can add a -quiet flag and amp it off to the background. Be sure you execute this in the directory you want the files to be in before you start. -- Baloo
