Hello all! I'm looking to backup a very obscure FTP archive, for old BeOS software. Unfortunately, there's only obscure archives left (for the most part), and I don't wan't the data to become dead links as such can become.

There's no contact information for the archive owner, as the FTP and it's portal page has none listed, and they've deleted their Reddit account. Otherwise, I would just ask for the data.

Is there any chance I can do this with an automatic tool, even command line? I need something that will work with Linux, if such a tool exists. It would be tedious and impractical to go through what I suspect to be a thousand or more downloads on an FTP, download, and sort them manually.
