I'm running an opensuse 10.2 machine with a cron job that ftps to my 
webserver and downloads several backup files that are created four times 
daily.
Here is the content of the .sh file that runs:

#!/bin/sh
HOST='web170.ixwebhosting.com'
USER='*REMOVED*'
PASSWD='*REMOVED*'
ftp -n $HOST <<SCRIPT
user $USER $PASSWD
binary
lcd /home/spleeyah/wmbs/wmbs.spleeyah.com/backup/
cd /wmbs.spleeyah.com/backup/
prompt
mget *
quit
SCRIPT
exit 0

Basically what it does is connects to the ftp server, goes to the "backup" 
directory where there are several .tar.gz files, and downloads them all.  I 
couldn't find a way to ftp just the new ones, so I set it to download them 
all.  There are 548 files as of now, so maybe that's not such a good idea 
now that I think about it.  Maybe the itense bandwidth could kill my 
cronjob?  Backups on my webserver are done 4 times a day, and this cronjob 
is 15 minutes after the start of the webserver cron, which usually lasts 
about 2 minutes, average.

Here is the contents of my crontab:
15 0,6,12,18 * * * sh /home/spleeyah/sh/ftp_wmbs_database_backup.sh > 
/home/spleeyah/wmbs/wmbs.spleeyah.com/backup/ftp_mysql_backup.log

And, finally, the output of the cronjob that gets e-mailed to me:
ftp: Name or service not known


So, I don't know what caused this to stop working, because it was working 
wonders before.

Thanks!
