You could use lynx and run it as a scheduled task.

If your server uses the standard ftp or http protocols then yes both should work fine.

also, i know you can use ftp voyager, and use its scheduler..

Built into a 'schedule' program, so the schedule progy must be running, but it works, with some nice options for copying data.

Download wget for windows and the packet driver
ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/wget/windows/

Save the following as C:\windows\wget.bat or something like that. If you use NTFS, make sure the permissions are correct.

====wget.bat======
@ echo off
wget --passive-ftp ftp://ftp.yoursolarismachine.com
@ echo on
======end========

Then use the built-in windows task scheduler (Start / Programs / Acessories / System Tools / Scheduled Tasks on Windows XP) to schedule the batch file to run whenever you want it it. btw - the "--passive-ftp" option is only if the win2k machine might have to connect through a firewall. It isn't required.
Here are some resources you might find interesting:
