Does anyone allow FTP access to the TPP's?


'scuse my jumping late into this thread, but I in a case of serendipity
just came across wget. It seems to be exactly what you need. From the
man page:
GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of
files from the Web. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP pro-
tocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP proxies.

Thanks Morris. The problem is not the tool, I happen to use curl
(similar to wget). The problem is that the FAA, AOPA and Airnav (the
ones I have tried) all seem to go out their way to prevent you from
having access to a valid URL to download with wget or curl.
