    You can write bash scrip like below

    File name: script.sh 

            !/bin/bash
        $1 is the file name
        usage:this_script script.sh 
        HOST='your host'
        USER="your user"
        PASSWD="pass"
        FILE="/var/log/*"
        FTPFILE=/FTP/LOG/

        ftp -n $HOST <
    

Schedule crontab
        0 06 * * * /bin/execute/this/script.sh
