This is a freebie from Ray A. Akey (AKA developer for ZenMetal Software).

It is a simple AmigaDOS shell executable that is used to FTP a file
from a remote FTP site.

Program argument template:

   U=USER/K,P=PASS/K,O=PORT/K,V=DOPASV/S,Q=QUIET/S,L=LOCALDIR/K,D=DELETE/S,HOSTFILE/K/A/F

   U=USER    : the username to use when logging in (default: anonymous).
   P=PASS    : the password to use when logging in (default: getclient@www.cnetbbs.net).
   O=PORT    : the remote port to connect.
   V=DOPASV  : do PASV transfer (useful for FTPing from behind firewalls)
   Q=QUIET   : suppress shell output.
   L=LOCALDIR: make the given local machine directory current.
   D=DELETE  : causes GetClient to delete from remote the files it gets.
   HOSTFILE  : the site, port and file to get. (port default = 21)

   NOTE: As an alternate, the U and P arguments can be specified in the
         HOSTFILE argument in usual URL form. ftp:// is optional.

Examples:

   1) GetClient us.aminet.net/pub/aminet/comm/www/GetClient11.lha
   2) GetClient somesite:someport/somefile.lha
   3) GetClient username:password@somesite/pub/get_this_file.lha
