You'll need to find an ftp mirror that doesn't hide the ``hidden''
files.  (``hidden'' as in the sense that the SF GUI means it.)  All
files exist on the SF server ad infinitum but we hide them because it
would be too confusing to the user.  If you know the name of the file
then you can give it an absolute URI and download the file.
