FTP protocol does not provide any method for doing recursive file transfers.
However, *some* FTP clients and servers do it anyway via a ruse, if they
both use the same ruse (client says NLST *, server sends a recursive list,
client recognizes the list as recursive, and does the required directory
creating/changing on the fly while downloading).
One client that does this is the new, scriptable C-Kermit 7.1 FTP client:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ftpclient.html
It hasn't been built for OS-9 yet, but it works fine in UNIX, so it would
be good if some kind soul in the OS-9 developer community would build it
there:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck71.html
The next release Kermit 95 (for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000) will also include
the same FTP client.
