FTP *to a linux box*? 

/me is shocked!

You have ssh access, right? Use scp/sftp. Try http://winscp.sf.net/ . If
you don't one to carry one around or install on your system(s), put one
statically-linked copy on your file/web server and download/run it.

wget http://server.name/path/to/file
wget ftp://server.name/path/to/file

In fact, what I normally do is copy a link from my browser to the
command line in the terminal window and download it with wget. Saves me
an extra file copy around the net.

So for those who need exact commands, here's a two-liner:

wget http://mirror.astlinux.org/sounds/asterisk-native-sounds-20060209-01-sln.tar.bz2
tar xjf asterisk-native-sounds-20060209-01-sln.tar.bz2 -C /var/lib/asterisk
