    IIRC it goes something like this:

    FTP
    OPEN ip address
    CD to the source directory
    GET filename
    CLOSE

    You may need to tweak this for different file types etc. but this should do the job. The file will be put in the current local directory so you may want to run the original ftp from whereever you want the file.

    Reminds me of the days before there was a WWW on the internet. Think I'll go away and moulder in a corner somewhere;)
