FTP command line syntax

[Steve Suhre]

I need to set up a cron job that will fetch a file using ftp and a 
password. I've tried several versions of the commands as described in the 
man page and the Auto-Fetch section but I'm getting an error that makes me 
think I'm missing something...

If I use the suggested syntax:

ftp ftp://user:password@host/path

I get:                Can't locate or login to host `user'

It looks like ftp is not aware of the man page and wants the server where 
the login info is supposed to be. I've tried several variations of the line 
with no luck. Any help?
