What with the constant barrage of new and improved virii, I thought I'd
make it easier to help my Windows friends.  So I wrote this little expect
script.  Problem is, it stops downloading and quits after one file.

(?)

spawn ftp ftp.nai.com
expect "Name*:"
send "anonymous\r"
expect "Password:"
send "devnull at pagoda.mtholyoke.edu\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "cd pub/antivirus/datfiles/4.x\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "bin\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "prompt\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "mget *\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "quit"
