FreeBSD ftp problem downloading folders

I would like to copy files from windows to FreeBSD box using ftp client. Unfortunately I can only download the files but not the folders with "mget" command.
can someone let me know if it's possible to download all the files and folders using ftp client?


thanks in advance.

Try to use the ftp client "ncftp" rather than the relatively basic "ftp" client.

thanks for reply. what would be the command to get all the files and folders with ncftp?
I tried mget *.*    and getting this: get *.*: server said: File not exists
it's only download files but not folder, please advice.
get -R dirname
will recursively get all files and folders within that dirname
I tried that too without any luck. it's not Logging in...
