Quoting ftp(1), line 206-209: Note: mget and mput are not meant to transfer entire directo- ry subtrees of files. That can be done by transferring a tar(1) archive of the subtree (in binary mode). Some FTP daemons (WU comes to mind) allow tar'ing and/or gzip'ing directory trees on the fly. Or, you can build wget, or one of the many programs like it, and use that.
