Thanks Shawn. I went through the ftplib info and I was able to generate a
list. I am needing to figure out parsing the list.

I've actually written code to do this, and it's fairly easy. Just use
the FTP module to run the ls (directory listing) command and parse
the results to get the filenames and timestamps. Then you will be able
to easily do download requests for the file(s) you want.
Perhaps someone else on the list can chime in with a more elegant
solution.
Here's enough to get you started:
from ftplib import FTP #(http://docs.python.org/library/ftplib.html)
