The “Hot Receive” Feature

The hot receive feature utilizes the GETSITEFILE script command and the %sitefile and %sitedir variables to provide an automatic method to retrieve files from an FTP site.

This functionality has been extended in Robo-FTP with the FTPGETFILE script command which operates similarly to the GETSITEFILE command except that it is capable of descending into and following a subdirectory tree if the /incldirs option is specified. GETFILE uses the same %sitefile and %sitedir variables. See the description of the FTPGETFILE command for more details.
