[FX.php List] [OFF] Automated FTP Client for backup?

[Gjermund Gusland Thorsen]

Here is an example of an ftp upload using curl:

echo "something to fill test.txt with" | curl -T - -u
ftpusername:ftppassword ftp://<<remoteIP>>/folder/test.txt

Just read the man page and you would probably easily be able to do a
download instead,
perhaps curl can dowload folders recursively too?
