    You might be able to just use move_uploaded_file() with the FTP wrapper, e.g.
     $success = move_uploaded_file("uploadedfile", "ftp://user:password@example.com/pub/file.txt");
    Code (markup):
    If that doesn't work, check out the FTP extension for PHP.

    Copied and pasted from php.net where you can find a complete reference of the language, including all the ftp functions.

    <?php
    // set up basic connection
    $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); 
    
    // login with username and password
    $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); 
    
    // check connection
    if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { 
           echo "FTP connection has failed!";
           echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name"; 
           exit; 
       } else {
           echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";
       }
    
    // upload the file
    $upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY); 
    
    // check upload status
    if (!$upload) { 
           echo "FTP upload has failed!";
       } else {
           echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destination_file";
       }
    
    // close the FTP stream 
    ftp_close($conn_id); 
    ?>
