Automatic Synchronisation of FTP directory

Hi again,
	I have a slightly unusual taks to get done as a temporary 
backup solution for a client - they have 3 separate sites, all with 
hardware based NAS, which have Windows file sharing & FTP. We need to 
set up an automated system, with an OSX machine doing a directory 
sync every day for a few weeks from the FTP server running on the NAS 
(no, rsync or other options aren't available - must be FTP).
	Can anyone suggest say a command line I can add as a cronjob, 
or some open source software which might allow us to do this? It 
basically needs to log into the FTP server as the username/password, 
check the list of files (& any changes to those files) & back up 
those which have changed, then log back out once the job is completed.
	Any assistance would be appreciated on this.

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
