Hello Teresa, I've just done this:
Open a terminal. typed: cd Doc Then I pressed the tab key then the enter / return key. Result being in my Documents directory. I then entered the details of my domain using the built in ftp program. I then tried the cd command to move to my public_html directory. I typed: cd pub Then pressed tab and then enter / return. Result I successfully moved into that directory as in the terminal. I then typed: mget *.html Then pressed enter / return. Result the ftp client pulled all *.html files. However, it did require me to press enter after every file. Maybe I needed to use a flag on the mget command. So I'm guessing it would work for you. However, I have installed macports but tab completion was available to me prior to installing macports. I noticed that the ls command gave all the permissions which is really hard to read. This is why I use ncftp because the interface is a lot cleaner. At the end of the day, just give it a go. I don't think you can break it. HTH Gena On 10 May 2013, at 23:29, Teresa Cochran <vegaspipistre...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the suggestion, Gina.
