actually it makes sense though the word "ftp" might have been nice before
server.

as caolan mentioned you could use a cronjob but that would be tricky
since you might not know if the file xferred successfully.  redhat comes
with wu-ftp by default, but there are others.  perhaps freshmeat might
have some alternatives.

alternatively you could modify wu-ftpd.  if you want a hand with that,
let me know.
