Use ncftp as the client.  It will send and receive entire directory 
trees.  IIRC it just requires that you do a little bit of prep, such as
        "get bin/*" will get the entire contents of the bin directory 
              including subdirecories and their contents. Thus, if you 
want everything to be in the bin subdirectory of your local directory 
you would need to make a local dir with that name and lcd to that. Then 
the get command would build the rest of the tree for you.

ncftp (client) also does not need to use mget or mput. Using a wildcard 
in the filename handles that automatically for you.

use man ncftp for the detailed info.
