Provided you don't want the subdirectories of the current directory as
well, you can do:

prompt
mget *

If you need the subdirectory and the remote server doesn't support tar
archive downloads, you'll need to install a 3rd-party FTP client.  There
are lots of them.  Don't ask for opinions, just try all the clients in
the ftp category of the ports collection:

Pick the one you like the most.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
