You need a better FTP client than the Windows NT ftp.  Take a look at
WS_FTP.  I have a five year old version that moves whole directories
(e.g., "get djgpp" to get the whole DJGPP tree off of simtelnet).  I
don't know if it is still free or if it is still available.  The last
time I saw it was on a SpryNet's ISP CD-ROM as a teaser shareware.
