Very basic Curl question

Very stupid question. Can I use Curl to download every image in a directory? (some idiot, knowing we needed 100+ images, put them in some web gallery rather than on an FTP server and I'm stuck on a Mac here) How?

not exactly the answer to your question but you might be able to use this in firefox to pull everything.

You can use wget and do something like:

wget -r -l1 --no-parent -A.jpg http://www.server.com/dir/

If the Mac's running Tiger, you could whip up an Automator workflow to do it.

Check out wGETs and cURLs, it's a blog filled with examples of these kind of things.
