Is it possible from a prompt console to get all files from a FTP client connection ?

I mean , I have download more than 240 Mo of ebuilds file for my first Gentoo installation .
Now I am setting up a Gentoo on a new system , an I would like to use the ftp command to get all the packages and ebuilds files on my previous Gentoo installation . But I don't know the right option on ftp

"mget *" should do the trick in ftp but I don't think that will recursivly fetch directories. If that's what you want you need to get a more featureful ftp client. I *think* that lftp does that.
