[ale] Recursive FTP get from the command line..

[Mike Millson]

Try the following:
wget -r -l10 --no-parent http://www.yoursite.com/

Make the 10 bigger if you have more than 10 levels of folders on your
site, which I doubt.

You will probably get some extra files named index#.html that wget
creates, but you can delete those.
