Well, I was thinking of using wget to do the ftp.

The hard bit is just to figure out how to pass a userid and password with
the ftp link...
But even that is not really a big problem because if you give wget the
following ftp link: ftp://user:pwd@xxxxxxxxxx/ it will actually log in to
the ftp server with the username "user" and the password "pwd".

Even more fun is to use wget with the -m option which turns on options
suitable for mirroring. The following command line will make a full mirror
copy of what is currently on that virtual domain domain.com: (The ../../
part after the domain in the link is to get from the users/user directory to
the virtual root directory of the account.)

wget -m ftp://user:pwd@xxxxxxxxxx/../../

I hope that comes close to what you are actually after.
