FTP cron job

Hey All!

I want to set up a cron job to get the latest files from a corporate tech support ftp site. This site is updated daily and it contains a bunch of directories. I would like to be able to automate this job to get the directories and files when I'm sleeping, and not download duplicate files.
Can it be done?
Thanks

you could set up a little script using the wget command and put that in the cron job

Code:

wget /home/yourname/path ftp://user : pass@myserver/mypath/pr0nfile.ext

(I had to space the user : pass because I kept getting a happy face, like this: user

ass)

Just a thought
