Is there a command to do this?

I don't think there is a standard command, but some FTP clients will do it for you. ncftp comes to mind for a command line client. Just say get <dirname>

Probably most drag -n- drop style clients will let you drag full directories.

didn't mget do something like that?

mget will get multiple files matching a glob style pattern, but I don't think it can grab a directory.

use a FTP client and just drag it

Im using knopix so I only have access to a drag n drop client. So...
