If you are doing ftp from Windows to UNIX,you can use tools like

I don't think you can though it would depend on the ftp server.

Some GUI ftp clients make it look like you are copying folders by doing an ftp mkdir on the server and then moving into the new folder and copying all your files up there with mput.

So, at the least, you can do the same thing.

Windows to unix??
try out with the Internet Explorer...

ftp://nka:nka123@10.0.0.1

where nka is the username and nka123 is the password..
YOu will be able to copy the folders to the local machine
or you hve to use any other GUI FTP clients..

unix to unix
u can use rcp
