I have my bsd system setup to allow ftp.

However when I try to ftp a directory and the contents from another system it basically uses the directory as a file name and all contents in that directory are ignored.

Do you use Internet Explorer as FTP client?

Yes, this was a transfer of some files from my bsd system to a laptop, which is running Windows.

Actually I tried to do the transfer from the command line.

Other ways to go:

Run samba on FreeBSD and share whatever you need e.g. your home directory. Then you can, from windows, open the network share just like any other network share, and drag-and-drop entire folders from FreeBSD to windows.

Or you can do it backwards, I guess. Run samba on FreeBSD, share some directory on your windows laptop, mount the windows share from FreeBSD and using unix utils like "cp -r" to copy directories from FreeBSD to the share on the windows laptop.

Or, get putty for the laptop, and use "scp -r" from the laptop to the bsd server.
