I'm part of a student project where we need to keep the contents of an online directory allowing file uploads to be downloaded and synced with a directory on a local machine.

I've tried using jit.uldl but it seems to require you to specify a filename before being able to download it. Is there a way for this object to simply download the contents of an online folder? I've tried using wildcards in the URL but it doesn't like those.

I've also thought about using a javascript xml parser to look through the source code matrix that jit.uldl allows you to create, but I think that there might be an easier way to do it.

Summary: I need to be able to automatically keep an online folder with mp3 files synced with a local directory.

jit-uldl-download-entire-directory-contents

if you are on OS X, you can use the Shell external and the command 

there are similar programs for XP. Curl is awesome, and it wont stall 

the rest of your processing as jit.uldl will. Stay away from that 

object if you are downloading large files.

It isnt true just because you say it is - cause anything thats truth 

has got proof, thats not you, thats simply just the way it is.

if you are on OS X, you can use the Shell external and the command  
line program 'curl'
