Wouldn't it be better to use RSYNC? It is more secure then ftp. Install it and read the man page to know if it is possible to do a resynchronising of your local directory with that of your server in question every 5 min. Else write a script.

smbtar
SMBTAR(1) SMBTAR(1)
NAME
smbtar - shell script for backing up SMB/CIFS shares directly to UNIX tape drives
SYNOPSIS
smbtar -s server [ -p password ] [ -x services ] [ -X ] [ -d directory ] [ -u user ] [ -t tape ] [ -t tape ] [ -b blocksize ] [ -N
filename ] [ -i ] [ -r ] [ -l loglevel ] [ -v ] filenames
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the Samba suite.
smbtar is a very small shell script on top of smbclient(1) which dumps SMB shares directly to tape.
OPTIONS
-s server
The SMB/CIFS server that the share resides upon.
-x service
The share name on the server to connect to. The default is "backup".
-X Exclude mode. Exclude filenames... from tar create or restore.
-d directory
Change to initial directory before restoring / backing up files.
-v Verbose mode.
-p password
The password to use to access a share. Default: none
-u user
The user id to connect as. Default: UNIX login name.
-t tape
Tape device. May be regular file or tape device. Default: $TAPE environmental variable; if not set, a file called tar.out .
-b blocksize
Blocking factor. Defaults to 20. See tar(1) for a fuller explanation.
-N filename
Backup only files newer than filename. Could be used (for example) on a log file to implement incremental backups.
-i Incremental mode; tar files are only backed up if they have the archive bit set. The archive bit is reset after each file is read.
-r Restore. Files are restored to the share from the tar file.
-l log level
Log (debug) level. Corresponds to the -d flag of smbclient(1) .
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The $TAPE variable specifies the default tape device to write to. May be overridden with the -t option.
BUGS
The smbtar script has different options from ordinary tar and tar called from smbclient.
CAVEATS
Sites that are more careful about security may not like the way the script handles PC passwords. Backup and restore work on entire shares,
should work on file lists. smbtar works best with GNU tar and may not work well with other versions.
DIAGNOSTICS
See the DIAGNOSTICS section for the smbclient(1)
command.
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
Ricky Poulten <URL:mailto:poultenr@logica.co.uk> wrote the tar extension and this man page. The smbtar script was heavily rewritten and
improved by Martin Kraemer <URL:mailto:Martin.Kraemer@mch.sni.de>. Many thanks to everyone who suggested extensions, improvements, bug
fixes, etc. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. The conver-
sion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter.
