Can someone tell me what the proper command is to transfer the entire

out how to do it in one fell swoop, if it is possible to do so?
I've tried gftp but that gets me into other uncertainties and has
wasted my time.
I should be able to issue a "get" command it would seem?
Rsync is superior to ftp for this, for various reasons (security,
copying permissions, compression, optionally leaving stuff out etc.
etc.). It's easiest if you have SSH access to the target machine, e.g.:
rsync -az From.some.where:/home/foo/ To.somewhere.else:/home/foo
poc
Ok, thanks to all, I will try rsync, I guess I should have known to try
that but it did not occur to me since I have been doing sftp for a while.
Again. thanks for the quick response.
"scp -r" will do it as well, assuming you have ssh between the two
machines, and it's encrypted as well.
