I'm currently in a situation where I have very limited access to a server, but need to upload and download a significant amount of files contained within a single directory structure. I don't have SSH access, so I can't use SCP - and rsync isn't an option either unfortunately.

I'm currently using ncftpput, which is great but seems to be quite slow (in spite of a fast connection).

Is there an alternative / better method I could look into?

(Please accept my apologies if this has been covered, I did a quick search prior to posting but didn't find anything that specifically answered my question)
