This works with Ultrix 3.1 (UWS 2.1) and SunOS 4.0.3
FTP.  It may work for you.

The keys are the ftp options "-i" to inhibit prompting during 
multifile transfers, and "-n" to disable automatic login.

ftp -in <yer-file-here

yer-file-here contents:

open ftp.host.org
user anonymous guest
cd pub
get README README-host.org
