There is a "HyperFTP" HyperCard stack which you might be able to modify
fairly easily to do what you want... though I imagine it might be a
little slow, seeing as how it's written largely HyperTalk.  I'm not
positive where you can get it, but ask around and if you really can't
find it anywhere else tell me and I can mail a copy to you.

Your only other alternatives that I know of are something based on NCSA
Telnet, for which source is available but which does not handle client
FTP sessions, and SU-MacIP, which handles ftp client sessions but for
which I am not sure whether the source is available.  You would have to
talk to the people at Stanford who wrote it.

I am assuming here that both ends are Macs.  If not, you should be able
to write a little C or shell script front end to the FTP on the non-Mac
end which does what you want.  It really doesn't matter which end
originates.
