If you want to start the download manually, then exit from your
console while ftp continues running, just do as this:

# ftp "ftp://user:passwd@123.456.789.0/path/to/file" &

Now you can exit the shell.

If you want to do something else, maybe the other suggestions
you have received are more appropriate.

Best regards,
Paul
