this gets tricky fast. imho, it's easiest to archive (zip) what you want
to send first, as ftp was not designed for this.

from man ftp:
---8<---
Note: mget and mput are not meant to transfer entire directory subtrees
of files.  That can be done by transferring a tar(1) archive of the
subtree (in binary mode).
