I can confirm this definitely works for me. I can do put URL "ftp...." 
and successfully put into a file on a different webservwe (on a 
different site - www.tweedly.net from my www.alextweedly.on-rev.com 
account).

Also confirmed. I created a cron job to do "curl 
www.kilmelford.com/datetime.irev" once per minute, and all that irev 
script does is write the current date/time into a log file, so in effect 
it triggers an irev script from cron.
