Take a look to the attached file. It connects with 'pon' and waits
until the connection is done. You can add at the end of it a line like
this:
wget -c ftp://file-you-want-to-get
And if you want to disconnect after the download, add "poff" at the
end of the script.
Add the contrab entry in your user's home directory ~/.crontab file
and then run "crontab" from it, so the file will be saved directly in
your home directory. If you want, you can "cd" to the wanted directory
before the wget command.
Hope this helps, Bye!
