I use ncftp3 quite a bit and am very pleased with its operation. With ncftp installed and connected to the site you want to download a sub-directory called "srcfiles" from: ncftp> mget -R srcfiles The -R argument tells the ncftp file transfer to act recursively From the FreeBSD 4.3 FTP man page: Note: mget and mput are not meant to transfer entire directory subtrees of files. That can be done by transferring a tar(1) archive of the subtree (in binary mode).
