What I would do is follows:

First make a cron job to run a perl script once an hour (if the host of the machine your running this on allows it)

Then write a perl script that uses the Net::FTP module..you can find documentation for this module below:

http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/lib/Net/FTP.html

Then do whatever you need to do with the file and that should do it!

Hope this helps!
