FTP script to copy folder and subfolders

Hi eperts
Forgive my 'newbie' type question on this
I have a server which I need to backup various folders in a root folder called disk1
For example the folder disk1\app I need the folder and the entire contents copied.,
I've added my current files, for what it's worth, which I have cribbed from other postings here but I must be doing something wrong.
Files are u ploaded with extention .txt
disk1.dat.txt

Any help please as my current Veritas backup solution seems to be bouncing around the teams in Symantec!
Disk1.dat.txt
callDisk1.bat.txt
Disk1-root.JPG

Thanks for your suggestions but I was looking at using the ftp comands rather than getting 'another' product to do it.
Can you still help witha suitable script?

I am not aware of ftp clients that could do recursive copy of sub directories from command line. The mentioned tools however can do this for you.
