Thanks Ray,
After failing for 2 days with writing a .sh script I wen back to Php as was my intention (was talked into a "better" method by the other servers IT people who were no help at all).
Below is what I have so far and despite my comments I am confusing myself with the name/paths aparantly. Here's my latest error:
Warning: ftp_put(/uploads/partsbase/test.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/baileyhyd/public_html/partsbase.php on line 25
FTP upload of /uploads/partsbase/test.txt has failed!
Here's the link if you want to see it: http://www.baileyhyd.com/partsbase.php
