FTPing backup files to another server

I am running a hot backup of my database every night within our cronjob. Recently I got burned because the tape which holds my backups became corrupt. I am setting up another Sun box to hold my backups as well as writing them to tape. I know dumb error on my part. My question is what will I have to do to automate the ftp action to move the backup file to the backup server every night with some sort of script or command? I would like to have this done by the machine. I am not a Unix guru and would like some help if anyone has any ideas on this. Thanks for the input!
