FTP#mget, FTP#mput

<snip>

I guess I'm not sure how this is different that just doing something
like this:

module Net
   class FTP
      def mput(pattern, &block)
         Dir[pattern].each{ |file| put(file, &block) }
      end

      def mget(pattern, &block)
         Dir[pattern].each{ |file| get(file, &block) }
      end
   end
end

I haven't test that, but if it looks alright perhaps I'll submit it as a
patch to -core.

Regards,

Dan

this does something like mput

Dir[pattern] is on the __client__. globbing for mget most occur against a
listing from the __server__.

   eg.

     mget foo*

   means get all files from the server that match foo* - the only way to do
   this is to combine an ftp.list with fnmatch.

Hi all,

Is there a method in Net::FTP that corresponds to ftp's

mget and mput

functions?

If not, is there any chance of adding this to ftp.rb?

Thanks,

Dan

I'm not sure but I think mget's pattern is supposed to apply on the server, not the local system. I could be wrong though.
