Hi Brian, Not sure if it's the mailing list software, or if it's your e-mail client, but the message is not formatted correctly. You're including HTML codes (which is fine) but the message is marked as the default (text/plain) rather than HTML. Take a look at how your message looks in the archives to see what I mean: http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200311/msg00998.html The FTP standard does not allow multiple files to be specified on the "GET" (actually, RETR) command. GET is purely for the purposes of retreving a single file at a time, so you cannot use wildcards. Your options are to use MGET, and then use CPYF or CPYFRMSTMF to move them all into a single member, or to write a program which understands what you want to do, and does it. Using my FTPAPI (which is a no-cost/open-source utility) you could write a program that does what you want to do. Just do a directory listing to an array, then loop through the array and tell it to get each file in turn. If that interests you, take a look here: http://www.scottklement.com/ftpapi/ On Wed, 19 Nov 2003, Brian Eckenrod wrote: > <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 > Transitional//EN"><HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" > CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8"></HEAD><BODY> <DIV>Hi everyone.
