Hi everyone, I have to fetch about 300 to 500 zipped archives from a remote ftp server. Each of the archive is about 1Mb. I know I can get it done by using download.file() in R, but I am curious that is there a faster way to do this using RCurl. For example, are there some parameters that I can set so that the connection does not need to be rebuilt....etc.
A even simpler question is, how can I fetch an archive from the server and place it somewhere locally? I have spent a lot of time reading RCurl documents and curl web pages but in vain. Can someone show me an example of the syntax? Pardon me if this is trivial to you.
