Here is one for you:

Code:

#! /usr/bin/ksh

HOST=dest_server_ip
USER=your_login
PASSWD=your_password

exec 4>&1
ftp -nv >&4 2>&4 |&

print -p open $HOST
print -p user $USER $PASSWD
print -p cd /your_dir
print -p binary
print -p put your_file
print -p bye

wait
exit 0

Now, add a crontab entry.

I fail to see the relevance of that allusion.Have you ever been to Europe?
