FTP program with scripting capability?

Anyone know of one?

[meingalls]

Does anyone know of an FTP program that has a scripting capability? I have a web site that has .jpg files in roughly 200 different directories. I keep a backup copy on my local machine, and I have to check periodically for new ones. But checking 200 directories is tedious and time-consuming, so I am looking for an FTP program that will either create a script as I do it once, or better still, allow me to program a script.

Any ideas?

Have you looked at WGET? It can be used along with perl or php, probably any server side scripting language.

Check out ftpvoyager. It can do this pretty easily.

sounds like a job for rsync [rsync.samba.org]

If you are using windows the the command line ftp client that comes with it supports scripting by calling

ftp -s:filename

.

However as was mentioned earlier wget, which runs on linux and (if you install cygwin) windows is great for scripted downloads, as it has more options than you can shake a stick at.

You can download wget for Windows here:

It's an excellent tool brought over from the Unix world. Might be just what you need.
