[Nfb-web] Windows FtP Help

[Jim Shaffer]

As I recall, mput and mget don't work for subdirectories, only in the 
current directory.  In other words, I don't believe that "mput *.*" will 
create and populate subdirectories.

By the way, I use the FTP Voyager client which I have had good success with.
