    Question Downloading a Remote Directory

    Anyone got an idea about how to do this? It's from an HTTP server.

    I need to download the contents of:

    http://www.uniwill.com/downloads/N340S8/

    Maintaining the directory structure which is currently in place.

    Tricky. You might find there are tools for this, but you could write a script that parses each page creating an array of directories and files, which then runs through and downloads them...

    If anyone is looking for a fancy GUI program, with a shed load of features - take a look at flashget

    wget owns for simplicity though
