Hi Kevin.
Thanks for the tip. Kermit certainly rocks. I've downloaded the 3.15
DOS version from Columbia and have been playing with it for about an hour
now and think I've got it tuned pretty well. It has some excellent
features. The only problem is, I haven't been able to figure out how to
make it do a recursive get. Online documentation is sparse, and
unfortunately, in my vast library of computer books, I have no volume on
Kermit.
I want to be able to set the directory on the local machine and then do a
get of an entire remote volume, i.e.:
get e:\*.*
Which I would want to download all files and recursively traverse all
directories on remote drive e:, storing them in the local directory I
specify and preserving pathnames, filenames, and preferably attributes.
However, it only downloads files in the root directory.
Can you point me to some relevant documentation?
