need help with ftp command

[compt121]

Hi

I am using windows xp and I am using the ftp command via the command prompt. I can connect to the ftp site and copy a file by using the command

get public_html/file.html

But what command do I use to copy the public_html folder and all sub folders and files ??? I have tried everything but cant work it out!!!

Any ideas?

Thanks

mput/mget can do a list of files I don't know if they will work on directories though. Why not use a full ftp client? There are lots of free ones. I'm using filezilla right now, it works fairly well, I like smartFTP and ws ftp a bit better though.

i cant use a full ftp client as i have 20 sites and im trying to write a batch file to automatically backup everything. I looked at mget and it doesn do sub folders !!!
