    Hi Albert,

            If you are just trying to ftp in a script I found this worked for
    me.

    /usr/bin/ncftpput -f login.cfg <directory to put into> <file to send>
     
    Login.cfg contains:

    host <host to send to>
    user <username>
    pass <password>

            If you can't find ncftpput let me know, I will hunt it down for
    you.
    It was on my system.

    Good Luck

It said it required windows95 
or better, so I installed Gwynux.
