I want to copy whole dirs via command line (eventually I want to write a script that automates that). mput just copies several files, but not recursively.

How can I copy recursively from my computer to my webserver?

I believe you want to use scp -r

man scp for details.

I know scp already, and I wish I could use it. But I have no login on this webserver, all I can do is use ftp to copy files.

UPDATE: I cannot login, but I can use sftp and scp.

Install ncftp. It comes with the useful ncftpput. It allows you to do

ncftpput -f logindatafile [moreoptions] -R remotedir localdir

with logindatafile containing the remote hostname, username, and password.

Thanx a lot. I was just a bit surprised that the regular ftp cannot do such a basic thing.

Works perfect, this is doing exactly what I want to it. Thanx a lot

scp -r didn't work because I am behind a couple of routers (my provider apparently traces the IP back and can't find my computer).

You're welcome.
