A much simpler solution (if it fits your problem) would be to use a program
like wget or curl to automate the connection to the ftp server. They are
available on all decent Linux installations, and you can do things like
wget ftp://my.server.com/file/name
Another alternative is to automate ftp via a ~/.netrc file (see the
netrc(5) manual, and the ftp(1) manual).
Exect is a very useful tool, but its anything but easy to learn. You'd
need to learn TCL (the language on which expect is built) and then the
expect commands. See www.tcl.tk for some tcl and expect documents and stuff.
