FTP is entirely predictable. It is just very difficult to write good script to cover every eventuality (including a ftp transfer taking too long). The same issues apply to "scp" to a certain extent.
The main use for FTP nowadays is for file transfers to/from Microsoft platforms when it is not possible or economical to configure a better method. Getting Microsoft FTP working is itself hard work.

Anyway the O/P in this thread was clearly trying to get data from a web server.
