Hi, netters,

Can anyone tell me if there are any communication application which allow me
to download/upload files in one-go?  I am using a Mac+ connecting to the 
Unix system through Telnet.  To download files from an anonymous FTP site,
I have to

A)  Transfer file from anonymous FTP site to our Unix system
    1)  ftp  ftp_site_address
    2)  TYPE anonymous
    3)  Type anything as password
    4)  Go to the right directory
    5)  Type get filename
    6)  Quit from ftp by typing "bye"

B)  Transfer file from Unix to Mac
    1) In Telnet, choose "Set Transfer Directory..."
    2) choose "Send FTP command" under Network
    3) type "Send filename"
    4) type "bye" to quit from ftp

C)  Decode binaries files
    1) Decode the BinHexed file
    2) Unstuffit file
    3) Using other decompress application if the above procedure fails.

All the above involve a lot of work (and repeat every time).  So, I am 
looking for an application which only need me to put in

    1) Where is the file from:  ftp_site_address, directory, and filename
    2) Where is the file to: the folder name in my Mac disk

and the application takes care all other procedures.

Is such a smart thing avaiable?  I am sure this is the way to go.

Any pointer would be appreciated.
