Ok, I tackled something similar, but not exactly the same. Essentially, in my case, I wanted to build a link tree by ftping into a bunch of different accounts, and then going through each directory, and finding all the physical files, and then printing those out. I belive my situation maybe applicable though, as it would only take a small bit of hacking to put in a ftp->get()

Note: This is code extract! Concept is the same though. Assume that warnings et all are included, and certain parts are excluded for brevity. Also, this was made for ftping into a VMS system. The program does work.

my $ftpSession;

if (login($current, getPass($current))) {
    @dirs = retrDirs();
    @goodFiles = retrFiles();
    
    foreach (@goodFiles) { {Insert code here} }
    if (@dirs) {
        foreach (@dirs) {
            _recparseTree ($_,"");
        }
    }        
}

#This begins a new ftp session with a passed username and password
sub login {
    my ($user, $pass) = @_;
    $ftpSession = Net::FTP->new($server, Debug => 0) or die printError
+Entry ("", "Error logging into server.");    
    $ftpSession->login($user,$pass) or return 0;
    $ftpSession->cwd("{base dir}");
    return 1;
}

#This simply gets the current directory.
sub getStruct {
    return $ftpSession->ls();
}

#This reads the current directory, and picks out all .html, .htm, .htm
+lx, and .pdf files, and returns an array
sub retrFiles {
    my @tempfiles = getStruct();
    my @results;
    foreach (@tempfiles) {
        if ($_ =~ m{\.HTM} || $_ =~ m{\.PDF} ) {
            push(@results,$_);
        }
    }
    return @results;
}
    
#This reads the current directory, and picks out all subdirectories, r
+eturning an array of results
sub retrDirs {
    my @tempdirs = getStruct();
    my @results;
    foreach (@tempdirs) {
        if ($_ =~ m{\.DIR} ) {
            push(@results,substr($_,0, index($_,".")));
        }        
    }
    return @results;
}

sub _recparseTree {
    #get directory name    
    my ($dir, $dirname) = @_;
    $dirname.= "\/".$dir;
    
    #Change directory to target    
    $ftpSession->cwd("[.$dir]");

    #Get the structure    
    my @tempList = retrFiles();    my @tempDirs = retrDirs();
    
    #If there are files in the directory.
    if (@tempList) {                   
             {Insert code here} 
              foreach (@tempList){     
                {Insert code here} 
            }
    } 
    
    if (@tempDirs) { foreach (@tempDirs) { _recparseTree($_, $dirname)
+; } }
    $ftpSession->cwd("..");        
}

This is not meant to be a running program, but hopefully an example you can use. Essentially, in order to mimic File::Find, I go through utilizing dual arrays to keep track of all files and directories, and navigate with those.

Edit: Deleted some extraneous lines of code
