As far as I know, rsync will not speak ftp protocol.

Look into the ncftp package; one of the programs is ncftpget.  I use
ncftpput to do a one-way sync between a local directory tree and an
ftp server, like so:

$ ncftpput -R -f /home/dave/.hostrc -DD /home/dave/mainwebsite_html
/home/dave/tmp/websource/*

This copies the contents of /home/dave/tmp/websource to my ftp server
and drops it in /home/dave/mainwebsite_html.

Check your man page; you may be able to use ncftpget the same way.
