# ftpgrab(1)

a file mirroring utility

## NAME

ftpgrab - a file mirroring utility

## SYNOPSIS

**ftpgrab** *\[options\]*

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **ftpgrab** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
