This solution is only available to members.

If you go to command line you can type a command similiar to this in or you can write a batch with this already in it (and schedule time for it runs, if that is what you want):
ftp -i -s:filename hostname
replace filename with a text file with FTP commands in it, these commands will automatically run once the connection is made. The -i will suppress and prompts and the hostname should be replace with the destination server name. To get more info you can go to command line and type:
ftp ? ?
Hope this helps

warming, FTP use plain text passord, a sniffer can capture your password !
For sachinkapila:
Please modify the script:
From:
# transfer file from remote server
ssh me@remoteserver "(cd /source-dir ; tar cvf - filename)" | tar xvf -
To:
ssh me@remoteserver "(cd /source-dir ; tar cf - filename)" | tar xvf -
It will work better, less screen message!
Cheers!
