Yeah. I'm using a "manifest" first to determine if there is a new
plugin available. Thanks. What I'm hoping for is some advise on how to
download a plugin bundle (verses a single file) sitting on a remote FTP
server (after I've determined that a new one is available via the
"manifest").
Or should I just give up on this approach and tar/gzip the plugin
bundle on the FTP server and uncompress it locally after downloading?

This, hopefully, is an easy question. When my application launches, I
would like to check for the existence of new plugin bundles on a
remote FTP server. New plugins (if any) would then be downloaded and
loaded into my app. The question is... What's the simplest way to
download a remote folder (a bundle in this case) recursively (to get
all the files it contains)?
These steps work fine for downloading single files. Anyone to the
rescue? Thanks.
Ahem, there might be a more clever alternative, but having some sort
of MANIFEST list with all available files to download and downloading
that first would work. You can then also check for version in the
MANIFEST and its bound to be small.
