Is there anyway to schedule an upload via FTP on a specific time/date? A script, a technically possible way. >>
Somehow, someway...?

Yes. There are FTP programs where you can schedule uploads/downloads, but I'm not sure if you could apply the same technique to other popular FTP programs (i.e. SmartFTP, CuteFTP)
You may want to look at FTP Voyager.

Thanks, but are you saying those are unable to schedule uploads at a specific time?

madcat, just use the job scheduler of your operating system to fire off your FTP script (the ftp script can be as simple as a shell executable or an advanced php or perl application). Use the job scheduler (cron, etc.) to set the date/time of the activity (recurring if necessary).
