Andrew...

	A perl script may be more secure, but ftp sessions are relatively
easy to automate, depending, of course, on how in-depth your desires are.

	The ftp man page should explain it, but basically, a .netrc file in
the user's directory (set readable ONLY by the user) and a couple quick
shell scripts will get you going.  

	Just my $.02 worth.

I've done it with Perl and the libnet module available at 
any CPAN mirror.
