Windows FTP命令行客户端不下载带有mget的所有文件*

Question

I use batch file to FTP into remote and try to download all files in the specific directory using mget *.* . But during transfer, it does not download all files.

This is my script:

open 192.168.31.93
*user*
*password*
binary
cd *directory*
mget *.*
close

Output of the script:

ftp> Connected to 192.168.31.95.

Answer 1

mget <mask> command in Windows command-line ftp client internally uses NLST <mask> FTP protocol command. Your FTP server does not return the "dot" files for NLST * (probably because it considers them hidden).

You will have to use another FTP client, which does not leave file mask resolution to the server.

For example with WinSCP FTP client , this will work:

winscp.com /ini=nul /log=ftp.log /command ^
    "open ftp://user:password@192.168.31.93/" ^
    "cd /remote/directory" ^
    "mget *" ^
    "exit"

There's even a guide for converting ftp script to WinSCP script .
