Use wget in combination with cron. The system comes with this
program. It works very well for both ftp transfers as well as for
automatically downloading web pages.
There was a time when I had cron automatically dialing in daily and
downloading about 5 web pages at 4AM when traffic is down, then
disconnecting.
