According to Shawn Craver: While burning my CPU.

#!/bin/sh
ti=`date`
downloaddir="/home/ftp/pub/linux/staroffice"
cd $downloaddir
if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
echo "ftp script: invalid options, aborted at $ti | mail root@localhost
exit
fi
# make sure were in the correct directory.
ftp -in <<-!
open $1
user ftp -Shawn
cd $2
binary
reget staroffice
!
Run the script as ./name pipo.com <full path to the DIRECTORY where the file
is located>
For example its in /pub/linux/staroffice and the ftp server is pipo.com do;
./script_name pipo.com /pub/linux/staroffice
Make sure you edit the script to reflect to the directopry where the file is
located on YOUR machine.
