Description Carsten Pfeiffer 2009-05-29 01:31:52 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

IIRC, kget for KDE3 could download not only files, but also directories, e.g. from an ftp server, sftp or whatever.

This does not seem to work anymore, the created transfer only shows "stalled".

I think this is pretty much the "wget -r" stuff... marking as a duplicate of the wishlist for it...

It *should* be much less work than implementing "wget -r". The latter involves parsing html pages for links, resolving those, having limits, checking for links pointing to the same page, etc.

The former (recursive downloading from protocols that support directory listings) is already implemented in KIO -- kget currently just seems to forbit that.

The former (recursive downloading from protocols that support directory listings) is already implemented in KIO -- kget currently just seems to forbid that.
