You didn't specify what OS you were running, but if you are running Linux you could write a small cron job to run every 10 minutes or so using 'diff' to compare the two files and if a difference is found, send the file over. You could also run rsync if it's linux, however I've never used it so I can't comment on it.

This needs to take place whenever the file changes.

What kind of “file”? Database? Or streamfile? They’ll be very different.

Also, what will you be FTPing? The file that changed? Do you want to FTP it as changes are happening or after the changes are finished? How will you know it’s finished?

Do you have a FTP server running on the system that hosts the network drive? A FTP server needs to be running in order for a FTP session to be started. And of course, that PC will have to have a user ID that you can start the session under.
