I've had the problem of regularly getting data from a windoze box myself
recently and tried a couple of options:
perl script - no (even though the ftp protocol is pretty simple you'd have
to do some serious coding to implement it.
Also - tried a bidirectional pipe (open2) to/from ftp.
Didn't work right away either)
fetch & bash - no (some wierd thing didn't work so fetch was out as well)
ncftpget & bash do the trick nicely.
And yes, I'd be much more comfy using scp et.al., but the box at the
other end can't or won't do it (nor a tunnel of any kind)
So I'll have to send over the password in the clear on a daily basis :-(
