You could write a script like:
/home/foobar/ftp.script:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
user foobar foobars_password
lcd /home/foobar
get filename
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and then execute it whenyou want, or put it in cron... like this:
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/foobar:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0 0 * * * ftp -n -i </home/foobar/ftp.script
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
