Is there a faster/better way to ftp?

.
I'm going through the painfully slow process of moving all of my web files
from one web host to another by command line 'ftp mget *" download
from the old system to 'ftp mput *" upload to the new web host.

Is there a better/faster way to do this?

Is there some way to do entire directories and subdirectories with a
single command rather than having to do each subdirectory separately?
