Question good old shell ftp...how!
hi:

I am trying to move files from server to server with ftp.

I want the command to read a folder and upload all subdirs and files.

what is the command to do this?

is there something cooler than ftp? if so. how to use it?

thanks again.

It sounds like you might want to look into rsync instead.

For command-line FTP, I prefer ncftp very much. It has a recursive mget, which your vanilla ftp may not.

Assuming they are all unix servers running TCP/IP:
man rcp
There are other methods too depending on what Operating System(s) you are using and how far you want to go with setting up network communcations.
