Hi Gregory.  This is the form I typically use for FTP uploading:

on mouseUp
  set the itemDel to "/"
  answer file "Choose the file"
  if it is not empty then
     put it into myFile
     put item -1 of myFile into tFileName
     -- change user:pass below to your credentials on FTP server
     put URL ("binfile:" & myFile) into URL ("
ftp://user:pass@server.com/path/" & tFileName)
  end if
 end mouseUp
