[SLE] copying files fails with FTP

Hi I have a problem in linux generally with copying files via FTP. If I copy files everything is okay but if I copy folders with files in them Linux(SUSE 10.1 and 10) only copies the folders without the files in them but all the folders get copied. Anyone know what's wrong? Can't remember this being a problem in the past. Maybe I borked some settings in konq and kwebget? -- Regards Kenneth Aar
