echo "[`date +%m/%d/%Y\ %T`] - Downloading new files from FTP"
for newfile in `cat new_filenames_from_ftp`; do
lftpget ftp://<user>:<pass>@<host>/$newfile;
done
This second one just returns a small amount of the files and a bunch of
'not connected' messages.

download a list of files contained in a text file using lftp.
Try
lftpget $(< listfile)
