No, but you can have your script retry a connection attempt until it succeeds, for example:
set connected to false
repeat while not connected
on try
open url "ftp://userid :password@hostname/"
set connected to true
end try
end repeatJim Matthews

A previous posting mentioned that "Fetch will keep trying to connect to a busy server (SetSecretOptions lets you specify how long Fetch should wait between attempts). To use this option click the disclosure triangle in the New Connection window; it will reveal a field where you can specify how many times Fetch will retry connecting."
is there any way to access this "retry count" from applescript?
