copy all data from ftp server

Hi,

I want to copy all the files from an ftp server and thought, I'd use
rsync but got following:

reg@reg-desktop:/opt/lampp/htdocs/Quaaoutlodge$ rsync --delete -avzr
USER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/www.quaaoutlodge.com/web/content/ .
quaaoutlodge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's password:
protocol version mismatch -- is your shell clean?
(see the rsync man page for an explanation)
rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at compat.c(174)
[Receiver=3.0.8]

So I did a
reg@reg-desktop:/opt/lampp/htdocs/Quaaoutlodge$ rsh
USER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /bin/true > out.dat
quaaoutlodge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's password:
and what I get is:
reg@reg-desktop:/opt/lampp/htdocs/Quaaoutlodge$ cat out.dat
sftpsh: Command not allowed.

What does that mean exactly? How else can I duplicate all the files
and directories from the ftp?

Thanks,
roN
