Wouldn't it be easier to ftp to the server from your machine and then issue the relevant download upload commands?
If you want to use ftp from a console the the command line options to download and upload files are:
download:
"recv" download single files at a time
"mget" download multiple files, allows use of asterisk in file names
upload:
"put" upload single files at a time
"mput" upload multiple files, also allows asterisk in file names
Note: you may need to change transfer modes (Binary or ASCII) depending on file types.
