Any recommended ftp packages to automatically download a file?

In my previous posting I talked about how to set up a cron like process in
Windows 2000. I forgot to say that I also need to automatically download a
file from another server in that process. Can anyone recommend an ftp
package that can be set up to download files automatically without user
intervention?

Thanks

Its not really a Windows question

Go to http://www.google.com, type in "FTP" (with quotes) & press ENTER

Ah but that just gives me loads of Windows ftp clients. I need some sort of
ftp package suitable for automating in a script running under Windows 2000
server. Ok I'll keep looking. I just thought if there was an acknowledged
way of doing this on Windows 2000.

The in-built ftp client will do that!
