Interesting.

I have some user interface concerns.  The problem is that typing "ftp" 
normally gives you an interactive prompt, and this isn't interactive (and 
probably shouldn't be).  It needs a different name than just ftp.

How does ftpget differ from the ftp functionality of wget, anyway?  That's not 
an area I've looked into yet...
