FTP multiple files with php

[fourthring]

I need to run a cron job that downloads about 1000 images from an ftp server every week. I have list of the files that need to be downloaded every time. Is there a better more efficient way than doing a loop through my list and initiating an ftp_get($filename); ?


Any reccomendations or classes that are available that would make i t more efficient? I guess I can use ftp_nb_get() as well .

Thanks!
