  It may have been a good idea for you to check the source address of
the original question before posting your response.

  Since he was posting from a UUCP machine without an Internet address
(or at least, without an Internet address that was evident in his
posting), it is entirely likely that the original poster does not have
Internet access.  Therefore, he probably can't use ftp at all to get to
any Internet machine, which means that your script, while it may be
helpful, did not answer his question....
