Sorry, I'm no gentoo expert.  It's certainly not the first distro I'd
recommend to someone just starting out with linux / unix.  Time to
break out the google.  I also found quite a few example scripts for
lftp with google in a few minutes.

here's a simple one.

open myftp.ftp.com
user username password
cd /some_directory/
mv textfile.tar Finishedtextfile.tar
get Finishedtextfile.tar
