Jumaima on "FTP batch file"

I hope that someone can help me. I am new to writing batch files and I am not quite sure how to write the following code. Any help would be appreciated. I would like a batch file to connect to a server using ftp, then write a list of filenames from the ftp folder into a text file. The text file can either be written locally or in the ftp folder itself as long as I can get access to it. Please can someone help.
