Transferring directories having 0..n sub-dirs using idFTP

Hello,

i need a "good idea" for a let's call it how-to or smart way to transfer
complete directories that also may have a number of 0 to n sub-dirs
using idFTP. I'm using D2006pro and Indy 9.
Currently the frontend allows of my FTP app only allows to transfer the
selected files (present in an TListBox/TListView) within the currently
active directory of the FTP-Host.
This app shall be extended with the possibility to transfer also the
eventually selected directories with in current active FTP-Host
directory (IOW: to copy selected files and folders between drives like
in the Windows Explorer or classic FTP-File managers).

The question is how to do in a "good" or call it smart way to avoid
running in recursive traps while iterating through the selected
directories down to the very last sub-dir of the selected dir on top.

e.g. selected dir = MAINDATA which has \SUBDIR 1\ {containing files and
again sub-dir(s)}\ ..downto..\sub-dir n.

...hope to have it explained a bit clear.

Is there somebody out there that has a good idea for that or some lines
of code as an example?

I'd be happy if yes...

thx in advance
