Is there the possibility to use TAR over the FTP account too?? Probably with the SITE command??
I don't know - you never posted your OS or type of FTP you are using. The FTP I use does not have a site command.

If you tar the files from the top directory, compress the tar file, and then ftp (or scp which may work from the system you ssh from) the file (set the type to binary in ftp) you can then uncompress the file and extract the tar which will create the directories and files.
