Simple(?) FTP Script

[Alex St. Amand_1]

I am in need of an FTP script or utility to transfer a file back and forth from a vendors server on a daily basis. The script/utility would need the capability of checking if the file exists and if it is complete before proceeding (possibly by checking the file size or date).

I am new to Unix scripting, and I admit this is above my abilities (I am an expert from the NT world). However, I am capable of modifying any current script to work.

I am humbly hoping there is a current good script out there or a good utility to accomplish this task.

Thanks Everyone.
