Answer 1

I would use http://www.ncftp.com/ for this.

//see comment => "Specifically, take a look at ncftpput."

Answer 2

You can use just plain ftp + bash for this.

Bash script begin:

echo "put $1" > commands.txt;

echo "quit" >> commands.txt;

ftp user@ftp://username:password@host < commands.txt

Bash script end.

Put that in ftp.sh. run it like ./ftp.sh file.tar.gz. this will upload to the ftp server.
