Wget help

I am trying to move a lot of video clips, around 150 I'd say, from one server to another. I tried fxp, but that was a no go. So I decided to do wget but there are so many files it is very tiring. Is there any way to have wget get a whole folder of files rather than having to get each file individually. I could download them from my old server and upload them but there's about 15 gigs worth of stuff.

Have you looked into the --recursive switch for wget? If you do that on the folder you want to transfer it should get all of the files in that folder.

If you have access to both systems, try using rsync over ssh (rsync -e ssh ...) to synchronize to the destination system.

The --recursive switch seems to be working like a charm! Maybe I should have looked at --help Thanks for the prompt help.
