retrieve data using FTP in Python

[swarna pulavarty]

Hi all, 
 
I am new to this Python group and to Python . I need to retrieve data from an arbitrary URL and save it to a file.
Can anyone tell me how to retrieve "any" data using FTP modules in Python ? And also, Can you suggest me some books and online references to get familiar with Python and especially FTP modules in Python ? 
 
Your help is appreciated !
 
Swarna.
