I'm on ubuntu. I only have sftp access to a remote server. The remote server disabled shell, so i can't use ssh or scp command.

Is there a way for me to recursively get the entire /var/www directory onto my localhost?

According to this answer, Nautilus (the file manager in Gnome) allows you to sftp as if it were part of your filesystem. Another answer there mentions lftp which has a mirror command.

If you use lftp, the mirror command is more appropriate, because it will recursively grab everything in the directory requested. The mget command is for when you want to specify multiple individual files to download. – James Sneeringer Apr 30 '10 at 18:27
