I was wondering if there is an FTP command that you can use from command prompt to copy all data in a folder. MGET command will only download files.

I believe that would require a "TAR" command (only available in Unix, if I remember correctly). Why not use an FTP Client like FileZilla or WS-FTP?

If MS doesn't support mput then use another client.
See also robocopy and the replacement for that. See also rsync.

The basic FTP (the one from MS itself) is pretty basic, but anybody that spend more than half a day, would be able to deliver a tool that can do what ppl want, be it copying folders (and subfolders) instead of only files. It's already a miracle that MS even has got an FTP tool, because if it was up to them, they would not bother creating a tool that allows to copy files to ... euhm, other operating systems. All GUI versions of FTP that I've seen, can do such copies (of directories), but there will also be decently written command line FTP's out there, allowing the same. Bill : buy them, because you guys don't know how to program.
