Problem:

• You are moving a web site or folder tree from one computer to another via FTP
• The source computer is Linux
• You can’t use the basic FTP program because it doesn’t recurse directories

Solution:
Use ncftp. Install it if necessary, cd to the root of the folder you want to put to the FTP server and then run the following command:
ncftpput -u myFTPusername -p myFTPpassword -R myftp.server.com .
