wget ftp://user:passwd@earth//var/www/html/somefile.html
Note the extra slash. That should work provided the ftp server will
permit you access to /var/www/html.
Just remember that everything after ftp://server/ is a path like any
other Unix path. You asked for var/www/html which it treats as a
relative path (since it doesn't start with /). So start the path with /
to have it treated as an absolute path. Since there's already a / at
the the end of the server name, a second / is needed for the absolute path.
