Kind of makes sense.
I have run scripts from crons before, so that part I know how to do.
The timeout issue was the problem, and it might be the server config;
I'm not sure.
What I was thinking was that I could run an exec within php that
executes the ftp statement like on a command line, but I don't know
the correct syntax.
Something like:
exec (" ftp ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path path/to/files/*.* ")
Would this work?

You could start by running the PHP script via cron. If the timeout
you got was from the web server's configuration then it might not
timeout when run from cron.
To run a PHP script from cron you first give the path to php then
the path to the script, so depending on your server setup, it would
look *something* like this
/usr/local/bin/php /full_path_to_ftp_script/the_script.php
If it still times out you could try wrapping the call to the php
script in a shell script. The shell script would need to generate
or read a list of the files to be ftp'd and pass them to the php
script. The php script would need to read the input, handle just
one file and then exit.
Hope the makes sense,
