This work for me:

temp.apple = sys.unixshellcommand ("curl apple.com")

temp.isotransfert = sys.unixshellcommand ("curl 
ftp://ftp.scriptdigital.com/emm/isotransfer1.0b1.htm")

Maybe what you are attempting involve an interactive session with 
curl or ncftp, in this case, this will fail, and you are better to 
write an Expect/Perl script and called it from Frontier or just use 
directly the Perl LWP library for doing all your stuff in 
HTTP/FTP/SMTP....
