Actually, wget does ftp as well as http. It is totally command line driven,
and automaticly resumes file transfers where they left off when the conection
gets broken, much like ncftp.

I'm sort of amused at the suggestions that are coming out of this
question. The correct answer is: (drum roll please!)

Perl has a library that allows that. I've used it for years, and it's

You would need to use the require "ftp.pl"; directive in your program to

Jim,
Use perl: (I'm sure someone will improve on this script. It's just a
quick hack.)
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::FTP;
$ftp=Net::FTP->new('ftp-server',Timeout => 30,Debug => 0) or die("Failed
to connect. : $! $? $@\n");
$ftp->login('user-name',,'password') or die("Failed to login. : $!
$?\n");
I used to use the following script to do that:
---
#!/bin/sh
{
echo "bin" ;
echo "prompt" ;
echo "cd pub/" ;
echo "get thefile" ;
echo "bye";
} | ftp ftp.somewhere.com
