I had a little trouble getting the ftp_put to work, because of that particular server.  All variables and data parsed from the previous web form had to be retreived using $_POST, $_GET or $_FILES.

If you don't know what you sent use phpinfo(); to display what the server thinks about your data.

so...when sending files using a form and PHP, make sure that all the data (text files etc...) are retreived with $_POST, and files (smiley.png, compression.zip, etc...) are retreived with $_FILES.

here's what your start of a results.php file might look like:
<?PHP
   $myName = $_POST['name']; //This will copy the text into a variable
   $myFile = $_FILES['file_name']; // This will make an array out of the file information that was stored.
?>

Now when it comes to transmitting that information...

<?PHP
        $destination_path = "src/bin/"; 

//where you want to throw the file on the webserver (relative to your login dir)

    $destination_file = $destination_path."img.jpg";

//This will create a full path with the file on the end for you to  use, I like splitting the variables like this in case I need to use on on their own or if I'm dynamically creating new folders.

        $file = $myFile['tmp_name'];

//Converts the array into a new string containing the path name on the server where your file is.

    $upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $file, FTP_BINARY);// upload the file
    if (!$upload) {// check upload status
        echo "FTP upload of $destination_file has failed!";
    } else {
        echo "Uploaded $file to $conn_id as $destination_file";
    }
?>

hope this is usefull ^_^
