If you didn't do the -i option you can just type
prompt
after you're connected. Otherwise when you do an mget * or mput * it
will ask you to type Y or N for each file. On some systems you will need
to type
binary
to transfer non-text files such as pictures. For slow connections you
can also type
hash
which will print out a # for each block transferred. The size of the
block depends on a number of factors, but it should tell you what it is.
Sometimes it's just 1K per #.

Regular ftp can be used to move the contents of a directory. Create the
directory on the target system and cd into it. Start ftp using the "-i"
switch which does not prompt for each file to copy. When in the source
system do a cd into the directory of interest. Do this command:
mget *
Note the asteric wildcard above to indicate all files. It will copy all
files into the target directory from which the ftp command was issued.
