Help on FTP download using UNIX script

Hi guys,

I'm new on this forum and on UNIX. Can somebody help in writing a script to download a file from an FTP server and validating if there is a file to download. If there is a file, I would send it to a mail recipient and if not I would generate an error log.

Thanks in advance!Smilie
