“wget”, a stand-alone utility, is probably the best…
It works not only with FTP but also WWW/HTTP etc.

Use ‘lftp’ and its “mirror” command instead? Not sure if there’s a
pre-built QNX port (or even what OS you’re using for this), but it
should be easy to configure/compile.

I cannot find wget utility in qnx. Where can I find it? Thanks!

Both wget and lftp are open source programs. You should be able to find
them via Google. Either should be fairly easy to port to whatever OS you
are using, indeed, they may already have conditional flags for it.
