Way too many do scripts for my poor brain to handle :-)
How's about (for example):
set theScript to "ftp -n [machine-name]
user [username] [password]
cd /var/www/htdocs/nigel_test
ls
lcd ~/Desktop
bin
get vars_ssi_test.shtml"
tell application "Terminal"
do script theScript
end tell
Works over here on OSX 10.2.4, though you'll want to change the ftp commands
to do your own thing...
