FTP + bootable CD

FTP + bootable CD
Just a simple little quick question I can't work out.
When using FTP (Solaris 7 & sun OS4.x) is there a way to FTP across a directory?
Also anyone know of any up-to-date doc's on how to create a bootable CD? Perfer it to explain how this can be made across 3 CD's worth, ie 1st CD is boot CD and the other 2 CD's would have the rest o the stuff as I know it all wont fit on one CD. I can only find some jumpstart bootable CD manual from SUN.
Thank for the help poeple
--------------------------------------------------
Sorry should have made things a little more clear.
For the bootable CD I want to create one. I want to backup a full system setup the way I have it now and I want to back it up to a CD, well it'll be over several CD's.
FTP question. Well out sys admin finally came clean and told us teh backups aren't working fine. So for a temp solution I'm throwing one of my test computers onto the network and leting users put a copy of there work on that computer.
Will the users have to tar up their stuff or is there a way to FTP a directory? (The O/S's used are above) I don't want to use 3rd party programs.

ftpconfig
ftpconfig(1M) System Administration Commands ftpconfig(1M) NAME
ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP SYNOPSIS
ftpconfig [ftpdir] ftpconfig -d ftpdir DESCRIPTION
The ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server by specifying the user name ftp or anonymous and the user's email address as password. The anonymous users are logged on to the FTP Server and given access to a restricted file area with its own file system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has its own minimal system files. This command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate an anonymous FTP server, including creating the ftp user account, creating device nodes, copying /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data. The passwd and group files set up have been stripped down to prevent malicious users from finding login names on the server. The anonymous file area will be placed under ftpdir. If the ftp user account already exists, then the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it are updated. All other files are left untouched. This command should be run to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system patch is installed, or the system is upgraded. OPTIONS
-d Create a new or update an existing ftpdir without creating or updating the ftp user account. Use this option when creating guest FTP user accounts. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: ftpdir The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anonymous FTP area is set up. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion 1 Improper usage of the command 2 Command failed ATTRIBUTES
