Create a script that does the following:
1) Dials your ISP and establishes the connection
2) downloads the remote files via either FTP, NFS, SMB, or SCP.
I recommend "scp" as it is secure and encrypted. Or you can use
ftp through ssh.
If you use scp, or tunnel something through ssh, read the man
pages for:
ssh, ssh-keygen, scp
If you decide to use ftp, then you can use "ncftp", or you can
use "lurkftp", or "mirror", or some other remote mirroring
software. Go to freshmeat and to a search for "mirror".
I automate such things all the time no problem. "ssh" is the
easiest to automate, and also the most secure.
