the "ftp" binary would usually be available yes. Just open a terminal and off you go. you can see what ftp realted software is available to you by running "yum search ftp" which will give a hefty list of immediately available software (some of which won't actually be relevant, but it's a good start)
use it with cron? We'd need more information about your requirements than that.

Thanks for that, much appreciated.
I want to set up CRON so once a day it will look in a specific directory on the Red Hat Box and FTP anything it finds to a directory on a windows box. I understand that CRON can be used in this way.
well cron can run a script at a time, but it doesn't do anything past that. You need to write that script and full test it, and once you can run it on demand, then you can just drop it into cron trivially.
To all who replied to my post, I very much appreciate all the help. My apologies to the admin staff on this site if I posted in the wrong place. I will endevour to make sure I post correctly in the future.
