ncftp is a very nice package that overcomes all of the limitations of ftp. It can do recursive downloads, has bookmarks, remembers your username and passwords if you want it to, has filename and dirname completion with the TAB key and so on.
It doesn't have the graphical user interface of WSFTP, but this is a good thing.

ncftp, or if you really like how wsftp looks, try "wxftp." It's interface is as close as you can expect to wsftp.

If you are looking for a GUI tool to do that, there are various ftp clients that work like WS_FTP, from the old filerunner (fr) if you install it, to others like gftp in gnome. Not sure if there is something KDE specifc. Or there is midnight commander (mc) for the console, besides the other console tools mentioned.
Although, I did not have much luck trying to recursively copy directories with ncftp if the subdirectories did not already exist on the destination (it would just create a filename of an empty file instead of a subdir).
