mget FTP folder

[mattonfire]

Hiya I am trying to download a folder with my ftp, that is the easy bit but it places it in the same folder as the bat file thats downloading it, is there a way I can set it to download the files to a specific folder? I can't just move it after as the name of the folder changes.

Automatic, so I can click it and it will run. because I need it to connect to multiple servers, and I would have to wait with it for a while, while it downloads 1 of them then manually move it on to the next.

An easy solution is use ncftpget  http://www.ncftp.com/ncftp/

 

ncftpget -R  -u user -p password ftp.ncftp.com /localfolder /ftpdir/tree

That's not a very detailed answer. At the moment its creating a txt file that lists all the files in the directory.

I don't really want any external programs.

you will have to modify the script for your own use

but atleast it give you an idea of what to do

 

also that other cmd based ftp program would be simpler

you just run the batch file in the same folder as the program

 

can use a desktop shortcut if need to

Fine, I'll download the file because it needs to download multiple files not just 1 and they'll all get mixed up if they were in the same folder. What do I download from the site?
