Unlucky
The reply I got from my IT fail 'mates' re yesterday was:

'This is not possible no, FTP is not available on the shared server environment your site is hosted on.

A report is the only way to do this'

Grrr.

Do you know what the "server enviroment" is?
Because that's basically bollocks unless their using either Urchin7 or google analytics, and even then you can design a report which just exports everything then put it on a FTP.

He may be able to argue that a exporting every field is a report
So you might have to pay for that report but not anything else.
Just say make an export for every field in the database unfiltered, once a day at midnight or something. Then they can drop those files on a FTP. Or they could send it how you usually get your data probably.
