FTP batch file download multi folders

How can I download multiple folder from one server to another server via ftp connection. My main folder called "backup" have sub-folders called Folder A, Folder B and Folder C. My batch file is as below.

@ftp -i -s:"%~f0"&GOTO:EOF
open myserver
myid
mypw
hash
bin

lcd D:\Users\Desktop\test   
#cd smsbackup/ 
cd backup/ #my main folder location
mget *

When I run the above script, it show file not found. So, all what I have to do is I have to write script for each folder. It is work when I write it as below.

@ftp -i -s:"%~f0"&GOTO:EOF
open myserver
myid
mypw
hash
bin

lcd D:\Users\Desktop\test   
#cd smsbackup/ 
cd FolderA/ #my main folder location
mget *

... and replace with FolderB and FolderC for another scripts.

it is possible to download multiple folders in single batch file? Thank in advance.

You can first download the list of folders and then in a separate ftp session, iterate over the list.

Run this first ftp script that will download a list of folders

open myserver
myid
mypw
cd backup
mls * ls.txt
quit

and then dynamically build a second ftp script using the contents of ls.txt, something like this...

copy ftp.txt ftp2.txt
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (ls.txt) do (
  echo cd %%a >>ftp2.txt
  echo mget * >>ftp2.txt
  echo cd .. >>ftp2.txt
)
