Well, omi _does_ recurse into subdirectories, but it
might fail if the FTP server has an unusual output
format, or otherwise behaves in unexpected ways.
Sometimes "-o nostat" helps to work around it.

Especially if the FTP server runs on some non-UNIX
environment and the directory output does not look
like an "ls -l", omi has trouble parsing it.  I've
seen FTP servers running on VMS or Novell Netware
that looked _really_ weird.  These are not supported
by omi, I'm afraid.

Best regards
