Re: FTP routine

Not really a PHP question - more an FTP protocol question - try reading the FTP RFC at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt However, in a nutshell, to get all of the files in a directory - 1. get a listing of that directory (read the RFC for instructions) and store the filenames in an array. 2. go through the array using a foreach - to 'RETR' each file.
