Does anyone here know an FTP utility which can generate a recursive directory listing from an arbitrary server (the one I'm crawling is <coff> MacOS9.x </coff>, believe it or not). \r\n\r\n Debian / Linux preferred, natch. I'm looking at `wget`'s options but don't find anything to generate just a directory listing. --\r\nKarsten M.

Stupidity. Whatever.\r\n\r\n Keep software free. Oppose the CBDTPA.

Prolly a server-side config issue. Note too that they kicked me out (too fast, too many retries?) first time through. \r\n --\r\nKarsten M.

[link\|http://www.ohse.de/uwe/ftpcopy.html\|http://www.ohse.de/uwe/ftpcopy.html] This package has a program called ftpls that will do what you want. I looked at the FTP RFC and on a cursory exam, didn't find any special cognizance of the need to do a recursive listing. There is the "quote" facility for running remote commands, but for obvious reasons it's a security hazard. -drl
