Copying multiple folders to local machine (don't know folder names)

Hi.
I'm trying to copy multiple folders from the remote machine to the local machine. I wrote a batch file to run an ftp window.
The problem I am having is that the only command to copy files is mget *, and this copies only files, not folders.

For example, ftp ts555
cd ts555/test
' test has an unspecified number of folders, anywhere from 1 - 6

I cannot type mget * because it will not systematically go into each folder and get the files, it will just give me an error.

I do not know the names of the folders in ts555 because they change daily.
I somehow need to access all the files in all the folders in ts555

Thank you!
