The receiving machine needs to be running an ftp server, you've got to
have something answering requests.
That server doesn't need to be scriptable. an ftp server is supposed to
listen to ftp requests on a specific TCP/IP port and handle those
requests appropriately. If you have a mac running Appleshare IP, it has
an ftp server built in. All you need to do is check the box in the
configuration windows to enable ftp service, and it will use the same
users/groups list as web and file service. you can also make an
anonymous user and give them a particular folder, etc.
I know that network browser can be used as an ftp client for downloads,
though I'm not sure how to do so for uploads, or whether it can be
configured as an ftp server.
