wget to do ftp between different server

Hi, I need to write a shell to do the following:

1) ftp to server B, from server A
2) From server B lanch an anonymous ftp to server C to get some file xxx
3) put the file xxx in the original Server A.

Someone said me that wget suites to my problem but I've no idea how it works.

Could anyone help me, sending me some example?

Thank you

Hmm, cross posting to another Forum wont help you get your problem solved quicker! (Read the rules). People will respond if they can help. Be patient.

What about using cron to schedule this work? Have a script on B to pull down files from C and then it could also place files on A. To automate an FTP in a srcript you can use a "Here" document as follows:

ftp_func () {
ftp -v -n $TO_HOST << ENDFTP
user $USERNAME $PASSWORD
ascii # or binary depending on what your file type is
prompt off
hash on
lcd $FILE_DIR
get $FILE_NAME
bye
ENDFTP
}
