Yeah, BL is really amazing! I wanted vfat support so that I could copy over install files for Windows 98 actually. I tried to use smbclient to connect to another machine on my network but it seemed over my head when I was reading the tutorials on the internet.
 
So what I ended up doing was setting up an ftp server... I can access the files individually through wget on the other machine with the installation files... but that's the problem. The wget command doesn't have a -r recursive option to download all of the files on the ftp server... I remember wget having this option (maybe on another distro?)
 
Long story short, how can I download folders recursively using wget? If I cannot do that, what's the alternative?
 
Thanks!
KF
