Good suggestion phranque.

I stopped using this method years ago because it is very unsafe to use FTP like this. If it was inside a secured network that might be a different story. You should be using SFTP or another form of secure connection. ftp.exe does not allow for this.

Many of the better FTP tools will allow you to schedule a secure transfer and maintain the folder structure at the same time. Some will also compress the files for you.
