Jason,
Another way to generate ftpget.scr without all that SHELLing out is to use RedirectOutput().
code:

If RedirectOutput($loc + "\ftpget.scr") = 0
  "open " + $ftpsite ?
  $userlogin ?
  $userpass ?
  "CD " + $ftpdir ?
  "lcd " + $loc ?
  "get " + $version ?
  "bye" ?
$rc = RedirectOutput("")
Endif
