'man ftp' yields the following for the 'get':
Code:
get remote-file [ local-file ]
Retrieves the remote-file and store it on the local
machine. If the local file name is not specified, it
is given the same name it has on the remote machine,
subject to alteration by the current case, ntrans, and
nmap settings. The current settings for "representa-
tion type", "file structure", and "transfer mode" are
used while transferring the file.
