[thelist] File transfer from/to Unix without FTP?

[Glenn Hunt]

Most *nixes support wildcards. So to transfer everything in a directory,
just use 'get/put *'. If you use 'ftp -i' to invoke ftp then it won't
prompt you at every file. Otherwise, you have to say "yes" to every file
in the directory - a real pain.
