Plain vanilla ftp won't do this. (you could script it though)
The preferred method (assuming you don't have rsync on the server) is to
use wget.

Can I use command line ftp to get a directory and it's
contents recursively?
Yes. :)
The mget command (as opposed to get) may work recursively for you inside an ftp
client depending on the client/server.
Otherwise, use wget with the --recursive option. I believe it to be a more
and then delete
the email, destroy any printed copy and do not disclose or use the
information in it.

youll want the 'prompt' option with 'recurse'
or youll need a new 'y' key
you can also use wildcards
recurse and prompt are good in MS's ftp.exe
dont overlook 'binary' or you might kick yourself
and also 'passive'

I've had best results with ncftpget, which is part of the ncftp package.
