   Yes, it was copied from the address line on the browser tab.

   That's what was missing. If I remember to put in that directory I can use
ncftpget.

   As it turned out, using wget grabbed every file in every directory when I
wanted only those in the 12.0 patches directory.

   Your information is valuable, Russ. Thank you.
