I've used that before for complex recursive tasks using (S)FTP, though the simpler clients usually do all I need. At the other extreme ncftpget and ncftpput or their Busybox equivalents can be very useful too for using one-line commands. Then there's CurlFtpFS, though it doesn't use the FTP protocol very efficiently at all (multiple connections just to grab one file). It also needs a patch to work with newer libcurl versions or it chokes on certain filename characters. Or there's a "CurlFtpFS-NG" fork. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
