How to download a directory and its contents using PSFTP?

6

1

I'm using PSFTP and am looking to download two directories and all of their subdirectories and place them else where on my server.

I would think it would be as simple as 

get dirname c:\localdirname
get dirname2 c:\localdirname2

But I get read permission errors, however, if I specify one file at a time, it works. Any ideas?

Use get -r <dirname>.

To move directories within the same server, you can also use mv <oldname> <newname>.
