How to download a whole FTP site using command line?
Solution 1:
Try the following:
wget -r ftp://username:[email protected]
this will go to 5 depth levels; to increase, add the -l option
Some servers don't like this behavior, and you risk getting blacklisted because of the load on the server. To avoid this, use the -w option to wait a specified number of seconds.

--user and --password arguments are useful for usernames/passwords with special characters.
