Question Download files every one second using ftp script

Our main Server "Srv1" is used to generate text files based on specified criteria and it is also connected to two clients (pc1 and pc2) which are responsible for getting the files from Srv1 as it follows:
1. pc1 ( which represents my UNIX machine ) uses shell script to copy the files from Srv1
2. pc2 ( which is represent my colleague window machine ) uses another technique to cut the file from Srv1

my shell script includes below ftp session to copy the files from Srv1 to pc1 , In fact I run it for 2 days as cronjob for every minute and it was working fine but while did compare the collected files on pc1 with collected files on pc2 I found that pc2 has files more than what pc1 has ( cause pc2 cut some files faster than pc1 which gets the files every one minute ) !!!

SmilieI want to run my script every 1 second or less than if possible to copy the files to pc1 before going to be taken or cut by pc2 , any clue ???

Code:
ftp -in x,x,x,x  << ENDFTP
user username password
cd $ddir
lcd $sdir
bin
prompt
mget *.text
bye
ENDFTP

NAME
dh_compress - compress files and fix symlinks in package build directories SYNOPSIS
dh_compress [debhelperoptions] [-Xitem] [-A] [file...] DESCRIPTION
dh_compress is a debhelper program that is responsible for compressing the files in package build directories, and makes sure that any symlinks that pointed to the files before they were compressed are updated to point to the new files. By default, dh_compress compresses files that Debian policy mandates should be compressed, namely all files in usr/share/info, usr/share/man, files in usr/share/doc that are larger than 4k in size, (except the copyright file, .html and other web files, image files, and files that appear to be already compressed based on their extensions), and all changelog files. Plus PCF fonts underneath usr/share/fonts/X11/ FILES
debian/package.compress These files are deprecated. If this file exists, the default files are not compressed. Instead, the file is ran as a shell script, and all filenames that the shell script outputs will be compressed. The shell script will be run from inside the package build directory. Note though that using -X is a much better idea in general; you should only use a debian/package.compress file if you really need to. OPTIONS
-Xitem, --exclude=item Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being compressed. For example, -X.tiff will exclude TIFF files from compression. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude. -A, --all Compress all files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on. file ... Add these files to the list of files to compress. CONFORMS TO
Debian policy, version 3.0 SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper. AUTHOR
