One that pops to mind is rsync.. I believe lawson and richard have
given suggestions for how to do ftp by hand... you could also use
a ftp mirroring tool.
Some are:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/net/ftpmirror_1.2l-5.deb
ftp://ftp.debian.org/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/net/ftpgrab_0.1.1-1.deb
ftp://ftp.debian.org/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/net/mirror_2.9-14.deb
If you aren't running debian you'll need alien to turn these into
rpm's or tgz's
http://www.kitenet.net/programs/code/RPMS/i386/alien-6.56-1.noarch.rpm
The other common method of getting numbers of files is rsync, however
it appears that freebsder's don't like rsync, but use cvsup
to ditribute files... I'm pretty sure it could check what's there
and get what you need, and probably could be stuck in a cron job to
do at night. I don't know for sure, as I've only ever used rsync to
mirror.
The freebsd manual about CVSUP is here
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html#CVSUP
and a debian package is avialable here:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/net/cvsup_16.0-6.deb
have fun
