if you have ftp access you can do that with a batch file...

Code:

ftp
o
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
user
pass
cd folder
get filename.extension

well from what it looks like, the batch file downloads it yes. you'd probably need a cron to do it automatically every x mins. and i know NOTHING about servers/tech/programming stuff.
