I had the same problem and sought out an FTP class. The one that works
for me
is from IBM AlphaBeans @ http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/foundry.nsf/
You can download two beans that do all of the work.  Also go to the
discussion
group @
http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/forum/beans_discussion.nsf/discussion_vert
to get examples.
Great support from IBM-ers!
