- Now I am beginning to download some packages from various ftp sites, a new
- problem arises: Most files are named xxx.x.tar.Z, when I do (in binary mode)
- "(m)get xxx.x.tar.Z", ftp won't send the file(s) to my PC (DOS) because
- the DOS file has to be named xxxxxxxx.yyy, no more than one period. I have
- to do "get xxx.x.tar.Z xxx.z". But this is tedious, and once I mcopy
- xxx.z to linux side, I have to do "mv xxx.z xxx.tar.Z", quite annoying.
- Any suggestions on how to avoid it?
