lftp is a simple, scriptable command-line ftp client
that has a 'mirror' command and never gives up.
E.g:
lftp server.my.org <<EOF
lcd /source/directory
mirror -ev . /destination/directory/
EOF
will get there even under the most adverse conditions
(e.g., hang up & redial a different ISP).
You can even exit lftp, and have your transfers continue in
the background.
