Can't download from ftp link?

[Tosyk]

for example this link can be opened in archive.org, each files can be downloaded: ftp://ftp.ea.com/pub/ea/ https://web.archive.org/web/*/ftp://ftp.ea.com/pub/ea/*

But when I use it the output is: `etting snapshot pages. found 0 snaphots to consider.

No files to download. Possible reasons:

• Site is not in Wayback Machine Archive.

Sadly, I found that anything that was once online using the ftp scheme is ignored. It's as though the wayback_machine_downloader only works with http schemes.

I tried ftp in the past as well. You are not alone. I believe this is just a limitation of the WBM downloader:

What I tried using the -l flag.

~$ wayback_machine_downloader -l "ftp://ftp.ea.com/pub"
Getting snapshot pages. found 0 snaphots to consider.
