Sorry if this one is to easy, but can I control a (non-GUI / CLI) FTP
session from a shell script? Like send username, password, cd, put, get, and
then bye? Going farther how might I insert from the script timed pauses
between commands, like to wait five minute between the put and then next
command.

I used to use a very simple shell script executed by cron to download 
the latest virus scanner DAT file. I found the script in an old Red Hat 
6 book. I don't have access to the script anymore, but I bet Google'ing 
will turn up plenty of options. (I believe the script I used was more 
simple than the one submitted by Eric.)
