Try this from the interpreter:
import ftplib
help(ftplib)
The module is pretty easy to use. If you'll be doing anything with
`http', then visit urllib2:
import urllib2
help(urllib2)
I think urllib2 will take `ftp' urls:
ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/dir/file_to_get

if you have an URL, you can use the urllib module:
urllib.urlretrieve(url, filename)
