The way I do it is I create a file containing the ftp commands (I 
actually use a Perl script to create the daily ftp script since the file 
name is a date function). I then create a batch file containing a command:
ftp -v -n -s:getfile.scr
The -s switch says to read the ftp commands from the file getfile.scr. 
Here is an example script file:

open ftp.foolproof.com
user genepool
genius
cd private/secret/stuff
binary
get secretplans.zip
bye


Hope this is of use.

Cheers,
