Greetings,
I am trying to use ftp to get a directory and all its files/subdirectorys in
one
fell swoop.  There are a few hundred files, so doing it one get at a time
isn't
going to fly.

Can this be done from the command line ?  I looked into ports but the search
didn't turn up much.  This must be a common problem.

(Do I have to tar it to an archive, then ftp the archive and decompress ?)

thanks,
Darryl
