I have no idea what you mean by those statements.
What floppies are you talking about?
What does what you say have to do with system snapshots.

How do I download the snapshot version with all the files and
sub-directors?

This snapshot URL must be a normal thing available to the general
FreeBSD user.
So there must be some pre-canned way to download and use it.
How do I find this out?

It's exactly like any other install image.
Boot the floppies and do a binary upgrade.
