mget command in ftp

[Steve Adams]

Hi all,

Can someone please tell me the paramater for the mget command within ftp so
that it does not prompt for confirmation of every single file it downloads?
If you know thins simple answer, please e-mail it to me
(sad...@acenet.com.au) and it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is an example of how I need to "y" to mget each individual file. I want
to use wildcards but not be prompted to confirm the download of each file.

ftp> mget *.inc
mget footer.inc? y
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for footer.inc (1885 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
1885 bytes received in 0.000419 secs (4.4e+03 Kbytes/sec)
mget header.inc? y

Thanks
Steve Adams

Use "prompt" beforehand to disable prompting.

Enter the command 'prompt' at the ftp> prompt. Better yet, use ncftp.
