Did you read the manual (linked at top of forums), see the ibays chapter.

Have you enabled the FTP in the global configuration (remote access in the server-manager). It's disabled by default, you need to enable it and to allow access from the internet

wget allows you to download from ftp

try

cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/i-bayfiles/files
wget ftp://remoteserver/file

But if you do so with the root account, other user won't have permissions on it until you chown to the correct user/group
