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?

Get the full wget instead of the small busybox model.

Or
cp -a /windows/* /mnt (copies all subdirectories and hidden files)

Useful between two drives/partitions in one computer or network file system.

Over a network (serial, parallel/plip, ethernet) use Steven's send/receive scripts - see BL archives. Sindi
