Is there a way to ftp whole directory trees
(/etc) without creating all the directories on the remote side first.
Thank for the help!

Hi

As per my experience NO. U will have to go to subdirectories and do ftp.

One solution would be to use tar on the source host to make an archive of the directory, ftp that archive to dest host and untar it.
Another way is to put source host in root's .rhosts on destination host and use rcp -r, or rdist.

Hi George:

If you are copying unix to unix, you could use 'rcp -r srcdir dstdir' instead of 'ftp'.
