The "host" is the first part, "ftp.ncbi.nih.gov". The remaining parts are  
a directory and a filename. You should write:

host = ftputil.FTPHost('ftp.ncbi.nih.gov','anonymous', 'password')
host.chdir('repository/OMIM')
host.download('morbidmap','path/to/local/file/morbidmap','b')

See the ftputil documentation for more info.
