I have used a cron-ned lftp mirror script to mirror a directory on a
ftp server with username/password combo and is managed by windoZ
admins -- means requires only cheking available free space in the
destination "folder" which is shared with samba.
Long things short: lftp works so well on a desktop machine that last
time the admins did not know where the hell the machine was when power
went off and they had to switch on the machine ;-)
