What is the best (an easiest) way to create a FTP script???

I'm trying to download multiple directories from another UNIX (SCO)
box weekly and would like to set this up automatically with crontab,
but I don't have any idea how (or where to look) to create a script.

A co-worker created a test script, but as soon as it logs in it doen't
go back to the script to find out what it is supposed to do.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

C-ya
