Your request is a bit vague, but here is one working example going from an
HP to a PC:

!  comment Build ftp command file
!  echo open xxxxxxx                         > ftpcmd
!  echo USER userid                         >> ftpcmd
!  echo ASCII                                      >> ftpcmd
!  echo pwd                                        >> ftpcmd
!  echo cd  targetdir                           >> ftpcmd
!  echo put SOURCE target.dat      >> ftpcmd
!  echo  exit                                >> ftpcmd
!  CONTINUE
!
!  comment Transmit the source file
!  run ftp.arpa.sys;stdin=ftpcmd
!  if ftplasterr <> 0 then
!    echo #!HPJOBTYPE!HPJOBNUM !HPMONTH/!HPDATE/!HPYEAR !HPTIMEF &
!            MSG: FTP of source file to server failed!  &
!               FTP error is !FTPLASTERR
