That's exactly how 'do shell script' works. It takes a single command and
sends it to a new shell. There is no interaction with that command while
it's running.
In short, you can't use 'do shell script' to interact with a terminal.
However, there shouldn't be any reason why you can't use curl. Its syntax is
pretty straightforward.
Assuming you want to download the file /path/to/filename.txt from the server
ftp.some.com, using username "me" and password "mypass":
do shell script "curl -u me:mypass
ftp://ftp.some.com/path/to/filename.txt";
