Hi,
I think you need to read man page about ftpput (but I don't know, if ftpput is in BSD).

Grr, I am not able to post links in the post Smilie so.. google ftpput Smilie

ftpput
I confirm that I could use ftp put on bsd
I already made the transfer without using script shell

Ah.. ok, I will send you some example Smilie

And change that ftpput line Smilie

btw. I changed your date to 16-04-2011--14-59 Smilie

Code:
#!/bin/sh

date=$(date +%d-%m-%Y--%H-%M)

tar -cvf ConfigFiles.tar /Firewall /ConfigFiles
ftpput --server=192.168.X.X --user=XXX --pass=YYY ConfigFiles.tar
SUCCESS=$?

if [ "$SUCCESS" -eq 0 ]; then
   echo "Everything is OK."
else
   echo "ERROR!"
fi

// edited: I add test if transfer was ok Smilie
