Hi all,

I'd like to write batch which get a directory from other ftp server, but it
seems ftp command cannot get directory recursively , what's wrong?

Thanks

To do this, I use 4NT which has transparent FTP support built-in. The
simple command
DIR /S "ftp:"
will probably do what you want.

4NT is a commercial program. Its FTP support is documented at
<http://jpsoft.com/help/ftpservers.htm>.

Personally I prefer to zip the whole folder with a command line tool
(with maximum compression) and get the zip file
