# Phase 1 Retrieves directories, creates hierarcy from current working directory.

mfind -t d ~~/stor/winfoo | sed "s,/$MANTA_USER/stor/,," | xargs -I {} mkdir -p "{}" 
# This retrieves object paths, splits into download file and target local directory file

# Phase 2 retrieves objects, splits into source/target directories, calls mget

mfind -t o ~~/stor/winfoo | tee dnldfiles.txt |  sed -e "s,/$MANTA_USER/stor/,," | xargs -I {}  dirname "{}" > dnlddirs.txt
# the dnlddirs.txt file can be prepended with a target directory or windows-ified 
cat dnldfiles.txt | xargs -I {} basename "{}" > dnldnames.txt
paste -d '/' dnlddirs.txt dnldnames.txt > targets.txt
paste -d '"' dnldfiles.txt targets.txt > dnldsets.txt
# put quotation marks at front and end of each line... stick in -o .. run mget 
sed -e 's/\"/\" -o  \"/g' -e 's/$/"/'  -e 's/^/\"/' dnldsets.txt | xargs mget
