You might find this subroutine that I wrote of us. It's currently being run as a cronjob on one of our servers and just transfers files via FTP to another site...

use Net::FTP;
$screen=1; # change to 0 for 'quiet' operation (ie no screen display)
sub move_files {
 # moves a file by FTP to a remote site
 # Code by Richard Chiswell
 # http://www.beebware.com/
 # Free usage, acknowledgements would be appreciated tho!
 my ($destination,$file)=@_;
 # destination is in the format username:[e-mail]
 # file is the local full path name of the file to be transfered
 my ($username,$password,$host,$path,$ftp);
 my ($results,$logfile,$movedlog);
 # first let's split the destination information apart
 $destination=~/^([^\:]+)\:([^\@]+)\@([^\/]+)\/(.*)/;
 ($username,$password,$host,$path)=($1,$2,$3,$4);
 $path="/".$path;
 print "Destination:$destination\n" if $screen;
 print "Login as $username (password: $password) onto:\n" if $screen;
 print " Host: $host\n" if $screen;
 print " Path: $path\n" if $screen;
 $logfile.="Login as $username (password: $password) onto:\n";
 $logfile.=" Host: $host\n Path: $path\n";
 $logfile.=" Time: ".&show_time(time())."\n\n";
 if (length($host)>1) {
  $ftp=Net::FTP->new($host,Debug=>0);
  if (!defined($ftp)) {
   print "* Unable to connect to FTP server:\n $@\n" if $screen;
$logfile.= "*********************************************\n";
$logfile.="*      UNABLE TO CONNECT TO FTPSERVER!      *\n";
   $logfile.="$@\n";
  } else {
   $logfile.="Connected\n";
   $results=$ftp->login($username,$password);
   if (!$results) {
    print "* Unable to login to FTP server:\n" if $screen;
    print $ftp->message()."\n" if $screen;
 $logfile.="********************************************\n";
    $logfile.="*  UNABLE TO LOGIN TO FTP SERVER!      *\n";
    $logfile.=$ftp->message()."\n";
   } else {
    print "Logged in\n" if $screen;
    $logfile.="Successfully logged in\n";
    $ftp->cwd($path);
    print "Changed to $path\n ".$ftp->message()."\n" if $screen;
    print "Current path is ".$ftp->pwd()."\n" if $screen;
    $logfile.="Path: ".$ftp->pwd()."\n";
    $ftp->hash(1024);
    $ftp->binary();
    $results=$ftp->put($file);
    if (!$results) {
     print "* Unable to transfer: file\n" if $screen;
        print $ftp->message()."\n" if $screen;
    $logfile.="* Unable to transfer:$file\n";
        $logfile.="  Message:".$ftp->message()."\n";
    } else {
     $movedlog.="Moved $file\n";unlink $file;
     $logfile.="Moved $file\n";
    }
    $ftp->quit;
   }
  }
  $movedlog="These files have been moved to\n";
  $movedlog.="$destination\n\n$movedlog\n";
 } else {
  print "Unable to read FTP details!\n" if $screen;
 }
return "$movedlog\n\n*****************************\n\n$logfile";
 print "DONE!\n" if $screen;
}

So for example, to transfer the file /temp/file.txt to ftp.example.com with the login username of 'user' and the password 'pass', just call $log=&move_files("user:[e-mail]","/temp/file.txt");. The $log can then be either emailed (as we have set it up) or just stored in a log file or disgarded. I hope it helps.
