The new Kermit FTP client:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ftpclient.html
lets you upload an an entire directory tree with a simple sequence, such as:
ftp foo.bar.baz.com
cd local_directory
rcd remote_directory
mput /recursive .
: ... or use a graphical interface FTP client (like llnlxftp).

That would not necessarily help, especially if you are uploading to a
non-Unix platform, since uploading in text mode will wreck the binary files
and uploading in binary mode will wreck the text files.
The Kermit ftp client, however, takes care of all this automatically.
Furthermore, if among the files are plain-text files written in French or
German (or any number of other languages), Kermit also can convert the
character set as needed (e.g. CP437 to Latin-1 or UTF8).
