I'm working on the docs for the new URL library now. Here is a quickie
reference for the basic FTP stuff to get you started:

get URL "ftp://ftp.example.com/directory/file.txt";
  -- downloads the specified file

get URL "ftp://ftp.example.com/directoryname/"; with "/"
  -- reports a directory listing

get URL "ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/file";
  -- downloads a file with authentication, i.e. not a public FTP site

put dataToUpload into URL "ftp://ftp.example.com/public/filename";
  -- uploads a file via FTP

You can of course use these FTP URLs anywhere you'd use any other container
reference - for example,
  put URL "ftp://ftp.example.com/somefile"; into URL "file:localfile"
to download to a file on disk.
