FTP Harvesting ?

Hello,
I tried to use RapidMiner for replacing an old shell script (linux/debian/squeeze/bash) where I use the "wget" function. If you have a look at wget's manpage (http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#FTP-Options), you will see that it is possible to grab files over FTP servers. How do you do that with RapidMiner ?
I have tried with the crawler and with "get page" and it does not work...
Best regards.

for anonymous ftp you can use the Open File operator with resource type "URL". It does not support authentication though, so for non-anonymous ftp you would have to call e.g. wget with the Execute Program operator.

Dear, Marius,
I found this comment in the forum - but getting fils from an FTP, and sending to an ftp seems not to work for me.
Could somebody, help this complete non-programmer with a sampe groovy or wget script that I can past inthe execute script operator?
thanks a lot,
Ilja
it is realy sad, I think to abandon rapidminer and move to other like shiny or Rstudio, I am working everyday with ftp server and rapid miner sucks. No ftp support
@zerrow did you see this thread? http://community.rapidminer.com/t5/RapidMiner-Studio-Forum/Read-files-from-FTP/m-p/28180/highlight/true#M20620
There appears to be the ability to pass the ftp://user:password@yourdomain.com via the Read CSV.
