If you're working from the PC side:

ftp -n -f:ftpscript

ftpscript contains:

open hostname.com
user actual_userid actual_password
cd actual_lib
put file.member
quit

If I've got the switches right, -n tells ftp not to prompt for login
parameters, and -f: allows you to specify the file containing the
script.
