I use WS_FTP Pro (Ipswitch). It can be scheduled and should probably do what you need.

I am looking to retrieve files from our parent company's FTP site.<br />
<br />
I can retrieve the files using a program that I have written, but I am looking for a 3rd party software that allows the automated retrieval of FTP Files.<br />
<br />
The process would look something like this:<br />
<br />
1) Connect to the FTP Site using URL, User Name and Password<br />
2) Change directories to the appropriate directory<br />
3) Retrieve the file<br />
4) Disconnect the session<br />
<br />
The 2 big things are: I need it automated and I need to be able to switch directories after connecting to the FTP site. <br />
<br />
Does any one have any 3rd Party FTP Software that they have used and that would meet my objectives above?

FTP File Retrieval Automation

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, distributed peer-to-peer networking (P2P) and cloud-based file syncing.
