hi balaji ,
to connect to FTP there are some FM , which you can use....
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'
  EXPORTING
    user                   =
    password               =
  ACCOUNT                =
    host                   =
    rfc_destination        =
  GATEWAY_USER           =
  GATEWAY_PASSWORD       =
  GATEWAY_HOST           =
IMPORTING
  HANDLE                 =
EXCEPTIONS
  NOT_CONNECTED          = 1
  OTHERS                 = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
to connect from FTP.
now put your file from sap server to the destination machine.
and pass to the fm FTP command list
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND_LIST'
                               EXPORTING
                                 handle              =
                             IMPORTING
                               COMMAND_INDEX       =
                               tables
                                 data                =
                                 commands            =
                             EXCEPTIONS
                               TCPIP_ERROR         = 1
                               COMMAND_ERROR       = 2
                               DATA_ERROR          = 3
                               OTHERS              = 4
                             IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
                             ENDIF.
finally call fm FTP disconnect to disconnect the FTP.

CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_DISCONNECT'
                         EXPORTING
                           handle        =
