Try this (replacing user and pass with your info):

put "ftp://user:pass@ftp.yourserver.com/test.txt" into theUrl
put "this is a test" into URL theUrl
put the result into theResult
answer theResult


Then login to your ftp site via Interarchy and see if the file test.txt 
has been created, and if it has the text "this is a test" in it.

If that works, then try it the other way:

put "ftp://user:pass@ftp.yourserver.com/test.txt" into theUrl
put URL theUrl into theContents
put the result into theResult
answer theResult && theContents
