diff --git a/ftp_recurs_get.sh b/ftp_recurs_get.sh
 wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=5 -nc ftp://user:pass@server//absolute/path/to/directory


 # -nH avoids the creation of a directory named after the server name
 # -nc avoids creating a new file if it already exists on the destination (it is just skipped)
 # --cut-dirs=5 allows to take the content of /absolute/path/to/directory and to put it in the directory where you launch wget. The number 5 is used to filter out the 5 components of the path. The double slash means an extra component.
