Actually, the fppkgreposerver also contains a (s)ftp connection. But it 
works as a server, you need a client.

For uploading a single file on a linux system, I would install lftp, and 
then call lftp using TProcess, using the --env-password option and then 
set tne LFTP_PASSWORD environment option in TProcess to pass the password.

This is easier than using (s)ftp directly from your application.
