Help with ftp commands.

I'm using WinXP's built-in FTP app. I want to download a folder from a remote machine to a local folder and am having difficulty getting it to work. For example there's a folder on the remote PC called archive and I want to download it to a local folder call c:\ftp\archive. I can't get the files to download into the local archive folder. They all downloaded to root of C:
Here's the command I tried.

mget /archive/*.* c:/ftp/archive/

I tried without the / at the end and it's doing the same.
