Well, that looks like a good script to search for a file on the FTP site, not
far off from Archie, with the exception it only checks your own FTP site 

Man, do I remember the old days, of searching FTP with archie, and the internet
was all text except for when you download files, which itself was a multistep
process...  first archie for what you looking for...it gives you ftp address...
 you ftp <that address>...  change to the folder listed in the archie, then
"get" the file, which only copies the file from the FTP server to your dial-up
server, then you type "bye" to exit ftp, and then you download the file using
Zmodem, Ymodem, Xmodem, whatever you have...  Zmodem was easiest, resumable,
Ymodem was ok, but Xmodem or Xmodem/CRC was just outright rediculous 
Anyways, I went off on a tangent with the subject...
