Well, I was already to suggest PCAnywhere, as an associate of mine uses it to
download video store information and statistics each evening to the main office,
where access makes its report for the boss the next morning.

He also had issues getting scripting to work, but after a week he seemed to have
everything resolved.  Alternately it wouldn't be too difficult to write your own
software that does what you need.
