Need Help:- Extract .dmg from a FTP Site using Terminal command

[Sonuw]

Hi All,
I am not able to find a command which can extract a .dmg from a FTP site. Like i Extract .dmg from a HTTP site.
For HTTP Example...
app-04:~ root# hdiutil mount http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0.1/mac/en-US/Firefox%204.0.1.dmg
Above example works for me..
I have some .dmg from the FTP Site.I need a command which can work like above command.

Kindly help.

Regards,

@Cem Thanks for the Respond...
I tried with the FTP Site for Example:- ftp://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0.1/mac/en-US/Firefox%204.0.1.dmg
Which does not have username:password.
I tried using above command given by you, but it seems it is not working for me. May be i am using it wrongly.
I need to extract .dmg (ftp://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0.1/mac/en-US/Firefox%204.0.1.dmg) Is it possible using command given by you?

it works. dmg file goes to your home folder (/Users/yourusername/Firefox 4.0.1.dmg

try this:

/usr/bin/ftp -i ftp://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0.1/mac/en-US/Firefox%204.0.1.dmg
Connected to ftp.dynect.mozilla.net.
