Hi, there is a program called curl which can get multiple files with a kind of wildcards. You can use it like: curl -O -f "http://www.server.com/dir/book[00-43].txt"; I never used it myself, so don't ask me what the command switches are for exactly. But it looks very nice to use. There is a homepage at: http://curl.haxx.se/ Björn _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
