wget recursive download using ftp


wget recursive download using ftp 

$ wget -r ftp://username:password@ip.of.old.host

If you get error like:

$ wget -r ftp://ftp:M8cf#5GP@xx.xx.xx.xx
  ftp://ftp//:M8cf#5GP@xx.xx.xx.xx: Bad port number.

however if you remove special characters like #,$ and ? from the password than the same will work fine.


wget recursive ftp with mirroring option

wget -m ftp://username:Password@ftp.example.com
