Example 1:  This task will log onto an FTP site, download a single file and log off.  In order for this task to work in your environment, please make the appropriate modifications in the properties of each activity.

<AMFTP ACTIVITY="logon" SERVER="YourFTPHost" USERNAME="YourUsername" 
PASSWORD="AM1MoyAfpKHilpraHBIX6ei1E/2ZhM5egRHalje6g6YThM=aME" />

<AMFTP SOURCE="/home/ftp_folder/filename.txt" DEST="C:\Temp\filename.txt" />
