You could try Novell NetDrive. 
http://support.novell.com/servlet/filedownload/uns/pub/ndrv41862.exe

It's a really neat utility. Designed priamrily to connect over the Internet 
to Novell servers, you can use it to connect to any FTP site. ONce 
connected, the site look just like a  local disk drive.   Then you can just 
use a batch file and XCopy etc.
