Something similar to wget for FTP ?

[anton]

Hello,

I have this problem with wget and ftp ... when I do recursive download, it keeps reconnecting for each different file ... and when it completes the file, it waits for a long time (until the ftp server does not kick it on time-out :( ) ... so it doesn't understand when the file is completed on ftp :(


so, is there any way to fix it ?

or is there a ftp client with similar commands as wget ... I'm just so used to wget commands :)

Thanks

You could try ProZilla (http://prozilla.genesys.ro/) which has additional funky features such as segmented downloading.

The number of simultaneous connections that it uses can be specified using the -k option (I think it's 4 by default) so you shouldn't have any problems with it opening a new connection for each file.

It also has a pretty nice Tk GUI, ProzGUI. This is a second, separate program which functions as a frontend, though also developed by the official ProZilla devs.

Give it a try... I've been very happy with it thus far. :)
