How to ftp mget a directory with all subdirectories?
I was trying to find an effective way to download a set of files/folders from ftp using shell script... It's hard to beleive that the only way you can download a directory with all subdirectories is to open each subdir individually and then use MGET * for downloading files. What if the set of dir/subdirs always change? Change the script every time?

Is there a way or routine everyone uses to solve this problem? Maybe FOREACH T (`ls -x`) may help?

I am a new in unix programming. Any comments are apreciated. Thanks
