You can turn prompt off by (prompt) and then use the mget or mput command. This will transfer all the files in a directory. Binary mode is deafult, you may want to set ascii mode if they are all ascii files.

If you want all files in subdirectories, you will need to tar up the bunch of them and ftp that over.

Hi Pat:

There is no easy way to do this with standard
ftp but you can do it with 'ftpcopy' available from:
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/FTP/ftpcopy-0.3.5/

The other way (and really the easist to script or run interactively) is rcp which has an option -r for recursive copies. Man rcp for details.

If your systems are tusted you can do
rcp -p -r root@hotname:/dir/of/data/you/want /dir/you/want/data/at/on/hostname

there needs to be a space between the path of the data you want and path of were you want to put it.
rcp -p -r root@hotname:/dir/of/data/you/want /dir/you/want/data/at/on/hostname

Hi
on ftp prompt use "prom off" and the use mget or mput.. Or lese best way is use rcp command. But you need to modify .rhost file for this.
