    Hi

    I am using windows xp and I am using the ftp command via the command prompt. I can connect to the ftp site and copy a file by using the command

    get public_html/file.html

    But what command do I use to copy the public_html folder and all sub folders and files ??? I have tried everything but cant work it out!!!

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    From what I remember, the FTP protocol does not support recursive download - any client must list all files & directories and download each file individually.
