I appreciate everyone's advice. I found nice clear set of instructions here:

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-upload-the-files-and-directory-tree-to-remote-ftp-server.html

That seems to be just what I want for this (honest-to-god) one time  
transfer but I'm getting a glitch I don't understand - I'm the server  
admin for the target so I can make changes if necessary. The problem  
is like this:

Password: **********
connect failed: No route to host.
connect failed: No route to host.
connect failed: No route to host.
Falling back to PORT instead of PASV mode.
connect failed: No route to host.
connect failed: No route to host.

and it loops like this. I can manually ftp to the identical site with  
the credentials I'm using and can move files one at a time. I have  
searched and don't see what the relevance is of the iptables stuff, my  
manual connect works fine through the same firewall. Ideas?
