After the late reply, I can be probably more useful :-), also if it is
not Gambas stuff...

You can run a bash script with ftp. For example, I put every night some
files on my site. Access is not anonymous, so I put username and
password. They are defined in /home/username/.netrc, in this way.
I think you should use command dir, because it permits to get a locale
file with listing (see man ftp). Sorry if I don't test script now, but
it's very late here.

--- .netrc

machine  host.ftpserver.com
login    yourusername
password yourpwd

Then, the bash script to run

#! /bin/sh
ftp <<**
open host.ftpserver.com
dir hostdir/hostfiles /home/username/listing.txt
bye
