youll want the 'prompt' option with 'recurse'
or youll need a new 'y' key
you can also use wildcards
recurse and prompt are good in MS's ftp.exe
dont overlook 'binary' or you might kick yourself
and also 'passive'

Plain vanilla ftp won't do this. (you could script it though)
The preferred method (assuming you don't have rsync on the server) is to
use "wget".
