You may use the ftp-command "prompt" to toggle prompting off. And you can
put it into your .netrc file. E.g.: put the following stanza into the file
named .netrc in your home directory:

machine index.storsys.ibm.com
login anonymous
password <your-email-address>
macdef init
   binary
   prompt
   cd adsm/fixes/v2r1/sun/solaris
   lcd <directory-where-to-put-the-stuff>
   mget *
   quit

Now commanding "ftp index.storsys.ibm.com" will fetch the solaris-client.
