[mythtv-users] Script to pull content from a Tivo using mfs_ftp

[Rich West]

Use tytool with tserver and just download them by hand if it is a one 
time thing.

Otherwise, you'd definitely have to script it.  You'd probably have to 
use expect wrapped around ftp...  Personally, I never had much success 
with mfs_ftp (for insertion or downloading).
