Reading website from UNIX

Right now we have a PowerShell script to read a website (it ends with .del) and send it to a SCO Unix computer, but would like to be able to get it with a script when the website is updated.

Is there a way to use ftp for this?

TIA

You should use either curl or wget .
If you're not allowed to install such software, you should try perl with LWP.

Thank you. It looks like our Unix machine has only limited access to the internet as I couldn't even download from our company's website so it looks like we will be using a PowerShell script to download it, then upload it to Unix.
