Log in to your account. Then:
From the prompt at your account, type ftp SITE where SITE is the address
of the ftp site. It will then ask you for a login and you will type ftp.
It will then ask you for an e-mail address and type it in. then you
should type ls -l to give you a list of the files. Oh, besure to type
bin so the files gets sent correctly. If you find any interesting files,
type get NAMEOFFILE where NAMEOFFILE is the file's name. if you find any
directories (they will be names with a / in front of them) you want to
get into, then you type cd NAMEOF DIRECTORY. you can then go ls -l and
find files. if you want to go back a step, type cd .. (this is 2
periods). get all the files you want and type bye when you are done. The
files will be in your account. Then, using a stand alone ftp program,
ftp to your account and type in your login and password and set the
program to binary. Then scroll around and find the files, downloading to
your hard drive. This whole post assumes you are using SLIP or direct
connection. If you are using a modem, then maybe someone else can help
you.
