I use "$HOME/.netrc" to manage the logins to remote boxes for ftp then just write a simple script that I use as stdin for ftp.

I personally prefer to use scp for file transfers and use public/private key pairs.

Also, consider using "wget".

Hi Sridatos,

Yes, use putty (google it if you have never heard of it). It's a stable download that allows recursive getting (so mget -r nameofdir/*) will get a directory plus its contents, whilst preserving the order (and info) of subdirectories and files. This makes superior to most UNIX sftp commands.

Good luck.
