What about using WEBDAV?

c:\> copy \\my.sharepoint.site\sites\foo\doclib\*.jpg c:\temp\

If the client end (i.e. not sharepoint) is a server 2008+ platform, you'll need to add the "desktop experience" role and enable the "webclient" service. This is not the same thing as system.net.webclient; it's the HTTP/DAV network redirector service.

If you need to log in with different credentials, you can use this:

c:\> net use * "http://my.sharepoint.site/sites/foo/doclib" /user:foobar
mapped h: to ...
c:\> copy h:\*.jpg c:\temp

Hope this helps.
