rsync's very easy once you get going, what your best doing is the
following
damienc@organism damienc >cp e-smith-4.1b1.iso e-smith-4.1b2.iso
damienc@organism damienc >rsync -avn ftp.e-smith.org::e-smith . | \
grep e-smith-4.1b2.iso
e-smith/dev/e-smith-4.1beta2/iso/e-smith-4.1b2.iso
damienc@organism damienc >rsync --archive --progress --stats \
--verbose --block-size=8192 \
ftp.e-smith.org::e-smith/e-smith/dev/\
e-smith-4.1beta2/iso/e-smith-4.1b2.iso .
