An extract, and a reminder from chyde.uwasa.fi instructions:

18. *****
 Q: The ftp session is repetitive and tedious, and the connection is
not always available.  It there any way to automate getting files
from chyde.uwasa.fi by anonymous ftp. 

 A: Yes, there is a useful facility called batchftp by Shawn Cooper,
which achieves this if you have a BSD Unix system.  You can get it
by downloading /unix/ts/batchftp10.zoo (or whatever version is the
latest).  The package contains documentation, and also see
/unix/ts/0news-u for brief instructions.  This system has the added
advantage of cutting down the unnecessary idle time inherent in
"manual" ftp connections.
