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).
