Get thee into curl. man curl for all you want to know, or <http://curl.haxx.se/>
Scripting through terminal.app will require an "in window xxx" part so that your state can be preserved between applescripted commands but it can be done.
<ftp://ftp.macnauchtan.com/Software/Progress/> is a public ftp directory which has some stuff I have been using to do ftp, using curl, via AppleEvents. The sources are there and may help in the sometimes obscure scripting traps with Terminal.app. It certainly shows how to set up Terminal.app so you can send sequential commands to a named window.
Using mount_ftp via Finder-connect-to-server or otherwise will not allow uploads even if you have a username and password. Perhaps in Tiger but I doubt it.
You might want to learn about $HOME/.netrc which is a file in which you can store usernames and passwords for ftp sites. curl will use it with the -n option and native ftp in UNIX will do it also though I don't know if Apple has mucked with that to favor the keychain.
