Need a little Linux help with dos commands...

[Dapper Dan]

I guess I could go to a Windows forum and ask my question but many of you also know dos. I didn't think it would hurt to ask the folks I know best first.

I've tried Googling for this but so far have come up empty as every site I visit tries to sell me a Windows program and I'm running out of time. I'm trying to make a dos script that download files into a specific directory. In Linux it would be:

cd /home/user/downloads &&
wget ftp://user:password@ftp_server.net/directory/*.mp2

Wget is already installed in Windows. I need an example of how this is done with in dos. Thanks!

i'd just install cygwin then use bash scripts instead of trying to muck around in batch

Maybe powershell would be the tool of choice, aka natively available.

You might take some inspiration from that script here:

Bitstransfer itself is described:
Using Windows PowerShell to Create BITS Transfer Jobs (Windows)

It seems to support globbing (at least on local files),
but I couldnt find anything about ftp after a quick scan.

Thanks guys. It turned out to be as simple as:

cd C:\directory\directory.
