We have been able to get close with scripting Fetch, but it won't get
(or I haven't found a way to get) individual files and we are using
system events to select all and then download.

You can certainly script the download of individual files with Fetch without resorting to System Events. For example, the following downloads all the files in a given folder:


tell application "Fetch 4.0.3"
	open url "ftp://userid:@hostname/path/";
	download every remote file
end tell

The easiest way to work out the syntax is to use the Record feature in Script Editor -- Fetch is fully recordable. Let me know if you run into trouble.
