lftp is a practical SFTP, FTPS and FTP transfer program, including automatic upload/download resumption and synchronization (mirror) mode. Good for both interactive use and scripting.

lftp can also continue downloads and run multiple concurrent download threads, acting as a download accelerator.
for eg.
lftp :~> pget -c -n 10 http://warez.com/large_file.mp4
will start 10 concurrent download processes (n) and continue (c). lftp is full of hidden gems.

Synchronization (mirror) mode is absolutely invaluable when you only have access to a machine via FTP.
