	I think even ftp can be done using the telnet 21 (or using the
sockets). or better if u need to do it on command line :
	try wget: 
	1. wget [options] ftp://<machine>/<path>
		the options may include ur login and passwd, output file, no
logging etc...
	2. wget "ftp://<login>:<passwd>@<machine>/<path>"

	Also u can use ncftp or ncftpget.
