You could set up a crontab to run a script every hour.

Here is an automatic ftp script

/usr/5bin/ftp -n servername <<EOF_FTP
user username password
cd /to/remote/directory/reports
lcd /to/local/directory
bin
prompt off
mget *.pdf
quit
EOF_FTP

The newer or older stuff I have no idea...

Cheers,
Sean.
