[SunHELP] ftp recursively.

[Carl-Johan Schenstrom]

This won't help him do recursive transfers. He'd have to create all
subdirs manually and issue a "mget *" in each of them. Not so bad for just
two dirs but what if there are 200..?

The stock ftp client can't do recursive transfers. Get another client,
ncftp works for me.
