ftp

# install lftp command
sudo apt-get install -y lftp

# use wget to download ftp directory
wget -r --user="user@login" --password="Pa$$wo|^D" ftp://server.com/

# skip create files.
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=5 -nc ftp://user:pass@server//absolute/path/to/directory

wget -m ftp://username:password@www.mydomain.tld/

wget -m ftp://username:password@www.mydomain.tld/htdocs

# mount ftp
sudo apt-get install -y curlftpfs
curlftpfs -o allow_other,allow_root,user=ftp-user:ftp-pass my-ftp-location.local /mnt/my_ftp/

# or
Mount ftp with curlftpfs using /etc/fstab
Since we do not want put any passwords to /etc/fstab file we will first create a /root/.netrc file with a ftp username and password using this format:

machine my-ftp-location.local
login ftp-user
password ftp-pass
Now change permissions of this file to 600:

# chmod 600 /root/.netrc
Check uid and gid of your non-root user. This user will have a access to ftp mount directory:

$ id
In the next step add a following line to your /etc/fstab file ( change credentials for your ftp user ):

curlftpfs#my-ftp-location.local /mnt/my_ftp fuse allow_other,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0022 0 0
Now mount ftp with:

mount -a

# mount ftp by fstab
# Add the curlftpfs mount into fstab to make it mount everytime the system is started (pico /etc/fstab)
curlftpfs#{username}:{password}@{host} /mnt/ftpbackup fuse rw,allow_other,uid={userid},_netdev 0 0
{username} = FTP username
{password} = FTP password
{host} = FTP host/ip
{userid} = ID of a local user (ex. 1001)

_netdev
The filesystem resides on a device that requires network access (used to prevent the system from attempting to mount these filesystems until the network has been enabled on the system).
