one more since we're on it, if you wanted to do it like you were talking
about from windows with a list of commands to run from a text file you can
do:
ftp <commands.txt
which will read lines from commands.txt and feed them into the standard
input of ftp (as if you had typed them).
However, expect really is a superior way to go, as you can do error
checking, etc.. and wget is just flat-out indispensable.
