Python or FileZilla Server to Create Folder and Transfer File to Adjacent Server

I have a process operating on a machine where a python script runs to process spatial data and return a compressed file which needs to be placed on an adjacent server which is a Hyper-V machine on the same network.

The server is an FTP server and has FileZilla server installed.
A secure certificate has been generated locally to control external access.

What would the best solution be to get the file from one computer to the next.
Python... as the final process in the script or an FTP process initiated by Python.

The network is Gigabit. The files may be in the megabytes or Gigabytes.
A unique folder name will need to be constructed based on parsed parameters eg GUID.

Pls advise?

why even go to that trouble?  If the file is always coming from the same spot and always to the same destination then a simple file watch scheduled task can copy the file from one to the other.
