Can I FTP directories. I have 10 folders with sub folders with several files each. Moving them from one server to another and my tape drive is broken so I can not tar them up.

Hi-

You can still use tar if your tape drive is broken

tar cvf /tmp/filename.tar /dir

then you can ftp filename.tar to the new machine and run the following

tar xvpf filename.tar
