[SWLUG] FTP command line help

[Neil Jones]

I have a crippled server with no root access.
I can log into it and I am using sftp to move files across to a new server.

One of the sets of files I am moving has a bout 70 sub directories
a simple Put command doesn't access any subdirectories.
It just copies all the files from the current directory

I would like it to recursively copy everything.

Is there anyway to do this other than manually changing and creating 
directories?
