You may end up having to tar up the directory you want to copy (tar -cf ./outputname.tar ./directorytobetransferred) and then FTP that tar file across and then untar it on the other server (tar -xf ./outputname.tar). I don't think that you can ftp a directory via the ftp command line... I may be wrong. When I try and FTP a directory, I get this:

Code:
ftp> get somedirectory/
somedirectory/: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
