If you can use FTP, then ncftp has a facility where you can use mget -r
and it will transfer a whole directory tree. If you MUST use telnet, you
will have to either:
1) Tar up the website and transfer it using sz/rz (and a binary mode
telnet connection!)
or
2) Use Kermit file transfers (the kermit server on the remote system, and
the kermit client on the local one) to transfer the web site (with
preferably a binary mode connection for speed, although kermit will
transmit over two tin cans and a string if it has to). This is more
complicated to set up, but in the end better if you have a lot of files
and don't have the space to tar up your site.
