Actually I just visited tcl.tk and got into: http://www.tcl.tk/man/
which contained a link for a tool, autoexpect, I read the online man
page and walla! it was what I needed ! so I just ran :

"autoexpect ftp ftp.tripod.com"
logined and then 'logout' after that I modified the output file a bit
so the 'logout' won't exist and after that I was done!

Thanks
