I suggest that you look into curl and wget. I successfully SPAWN curl processes
to put and get files from remote http and ftp servers.

This curl command puts a file to an ftp server in the background using my .netrc
file for authentication (via anonymous ftp)

SPAWN, 'curl -n -s -T local_file.png ftp://host.domain/directory/remote_file.png &'

There is also the IDLnetURL object, but we have had problems with it crashing
the IDL session. This has been reported to ITTVIS, but no solution yet (that
I know of).
