Here is how I use ftp to send files from unix to windows.
You can store password/username in a file, instead of having it in the script.

Code:
HOST='remote.server.com'
USER='remote'
PASSWD='rpassword'
DATE=$(/bin/date +%Y%m%d)
TIME=$(/bin/date +%H)
HOSTNAME=$(/bin/hostname)

tar zcvfP $DATE.$TIME.$HOSTNAME.tar.gz  /var/bin/*.sh /etc/munin/plugins/* > /dev/null &&
ncftpput -E -u $USER -p $PASSWD $HOST / $DATE.$TIME.$HOSTNAME.tar.gz ;:

rm $(date +%Y%m%d).$(date +%H).$HOSTNAME.tar.gz

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no    The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send
				     LIST  instead.  In  order	to  make  the  Solaris	ftp  client  send  LIST when the ls command is issued, set
				     FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
