Do you have telnet/SSH access?
You can simple fopen() the FTP file and read it, or use PHP's FTP functions
(not sure which will be easier to provide username/password) and then use
http://php.net/explode to extract the fields.
You'll also want to read:
man 5 crontab
which is the one that gives the details of how to make cron work.
