FTP whole directories?

I was wondering if there is anway to FTP whole directories. I want to
schedule FTP to downlaod an entire directory every night. I have tried
several 3rd party application with no luck. It seems windows FTP
command doesn't support wildcards.

Tried the mget command within the ftp client?

You can use the -s:[filename] switch to
run multiple commands from within the sessions

You will probably need to do the "prompt" command before mget.

ftp prompt (Turns off prompting for Yes or no for each file)
ftp mget *

Thanks. I got it working. The only issue I see is if there is a
glitch in connections, there is no recovery and you have to start over.
