Basically in those posts/FAQ is all you need. If you pick the stuff and try step by step you will also learn a lot of it. There are plenty of people that can just smash a script here and a line for your crontab but it is always nice to see what the people tried so far and that they try.
So maybe pick an example and tell what is not clear. People will be happy explaining for sure.
All you need is a cronjob triggering that ftp script. Check the web also for "here script". Or again check for ftp script posts or "automating ftp" in this forum and change it to your needs.
