I dont know if you can ftp a directory and its contents. You may want to check out the FAQ article on FTP.
If none of those suite you, then zip or tar the directory, ftp that file and extract it there.

i believe that you cannot ftp a directory with its content via normal ftp... there is a script created by a member here that can do that... try to use the search button.

hope this helps
