Yes lftp is great for that. You just do "mirror folder" and it downloads
everything in that folder. You can also do "mirror -R localfolder" and
you can upload a local folder to the FTP server. And like somebody else
suggested if it's just a folder you want to download and that's it, wget
is also good for that.
