Typically, assuming the server at the other end is running Mac OS X and that
Test.app is a typical application bundle, no you can't do this.
The problem is that Test.app is not, technically, a file, it's a directory
containing the various resources, etc. that make up the application.
In this case, as far as curl is concerned, you're trying to download a
directory, which isn't supported in this way (typically when you pass ftp a
directory you get the directory listing, not all of its contents)
You'd need to use something like tar to combine the the application bundle's
parts into a single file for transfer via ftp, or maybe use some file
transfer protocol that can handle recursive file transfers (like scp,
maybe?...
do shell script "scp -r email@hidden:/Volumes/Installers/Test.app
./Test.app"
although you have have issues with authentication.
