It didn't work (and didn't show a warning either - it just failed silently). The command I used was get -R rt Where rt was the name of the directory I wished to get. The server in question claims to be: FTP Server for NW 3.1x, 4.xx (v1.10), (c) 1994 HellSoft. I've tried doing the same to a debian box, and it works fine, so it looks like some interaction between ncftp and the netware ftp server - possibly the netware server doesn't handle the command sent by ncftp (in which case ncftp should ideally drop back to another method). ws_ftp32 under win95 seems to have no problem getting the same directory (and structure).

That's probably a problem with the format of directory listings. Have a look at mirror, it has *lots* of code to parse diverse formats, still needs to be configured, and still can't parse everything. (It does have special code for Netware, which the above is, for example.) Too bad there is no standard long listing format. As it is, it's not solvable in the general case, you can only add lots of special case solutions. I dimly seem to remember there being some note about this in the ncftp documentation, however ...

It didn't work (and didn't show a warning either - it just failed silently). The command I used was get -R rt Where rt was the name of the directory I wished to get. The server in question claims to be: FTP Server for NW 3.1x, 4.xx (v1.10), (c) 1994 HellSoft. I've tried doing the same to a debian box, and it works fine, so it looks like some interaction between ncftp and the netware ftp server - possibly the netware server doesn't handle the command sent by ncftp (in which case ncftp should ideally drop back to another method). ws_ftp32 under win95 seems to have no problem getting the same directory (and structure).
