This is easier than you can imagine ;-)
...and it is already build-in.

I suppose you want to upload the file to your ftp-server.

It is even not necessary to save the data to a text-file.

Here are 2 solutions for your problem:

The first one will transfer a textfile to your server.
Teh second one will tranfer the content of a field
(or a global var or a custom property or...) to the server.

1.
on mouseup
    put url("file:your_text_file_here.txt") into URL 
"ftp://username:password@ftp.yourservername.com/foldername/file.txt"
end if

2.
on mouseup
    put fld "data to transfer" into URL 
"ftp://username:password@ftp.yourservername.com/foldername/file.txt"
end if

Of course you have to replace username, password etc... with
your names ;-)

> Oh and thanks a lot Klaus for earlier.

You're welcome...
