FTP.exe question:

[thirdlegstump]

Specifically looking for a way to transfer a folder versus using something like *.*

Any tips?

 

[nweaver]

no

and I think *.* would require an mget or mput as opposed to plain get and put. You could try a GUI, I like gFTP, although I am normally just a command line ftp kind of guy.

tar or zip the directory, then ftp. One big file goes a lot faster than a bunch of little files too

Depending on the goal, that likely won't work because you can't un-zip it again via FTP on the other side.

To help your situation, if uploading to a Linux/UNIX server, you can probably SSH to it. SCP is file transfer over SSH. Try writing your script using SCP instead. WinSCP should be able to do this, and I *think* can handle folder uploads... I think...
