I want to use MGET (an ftp command) to copy all the files in a certain directory from one server to another. Does anyone know if I can use the wildcards *.* to select all the files?

Thanks,

Barry

It really does depend on what kind of FTP server you're connecting to. You should be able to use wildcards, but, if it's a linux/unix box, then you only have to use one asterisk, as there is no standard naming convention under these operating systems.

I don't think it's Linux, but I'm not sure since it's running proprietary software installed by the vendor. They did mention XDOS on the machine if that helps.
