You can use the WGet action to (recursively) download a directory from an ftp server. When you specify the directory, make sure you have a slash (/) in the end, or else wget will fail, thinking you specified a filename.
When doing recursive get, leave the output file parameter blank. Oh, and the username and password will be used for ftp actions, even though wget accepts special ftp parameters for it on the command line.
Thanks for the tip, Jaap.
Also: All remote directory names are case sensitive
Jaap,
I think that will depend on the server application and operating system.

Oh, yes, I think it will. Microsoft already brainwashed me. In this case, I use WGet to an ftp site on IIS on Windows 2003 server. I did not expect it to be case sensitive, because when I do normal ftp to this site, it does not seem to be case sensitive.
Hi Jaap,
That's odd, I guess maybe I was wrong. It's possible WGet does some internal case-sensitive string matching (those crazy Unix people! ;).)
