Pick another user, go into
Code:
crontab

as that user. Create a new entry for the job. The user should be one with suitable permissions to run other code later on against the downloaded file. Hopefully you have a group or some special acl that can allow this.

Make sure that the script does not require advanced permissions to run. This means setting permissions on the directory-ies where the script lives, and on the destination directory tree.
