No, just type "prompt" at the "ftp>" prompt to make it stop prompting for each file. Type "?" or "help" for a list of other commands. And you can use IE as mentioned above as a "cheap" WS_FTP but I've never used XP (and never will) so I don't know if it works the same.

Stryker:
It always works for me, the internet explorer thing, i must have given bad directions. all well. When ftp opens and you log in, prompt is a command on it's own, not a parameter for another command (as it should be). I would expect something similar to this:

Welome to FTP Server,  Please log in:
(user): myusername
(pass): mypassword

Welcome.
ftp> prompt
ftp> mget thisfolder
Retrieving...
Done.
ftp> quit

(I would avoid internet explorer, but use it before downloading a ftp client)

Aaron Ni:
I do believe that the client CuteFTP will allow you to download a complete directory without prompting for each file.  It's main features are a main screen showing the FTP accounts contents, a small sidebar to the left that shows a directory on your computer and the bottom shows file transfer progress.  

If you cant find a copy online (Which shouldnt be too hard.) I could just send you the install files with a serial.

Chooco:
i think Internet Explorer makes a pretty good FTP client actually... transfering files is as easy as using Windows Explorer

if you want an FTP server for Windows, try TYPSoft FTP Server
