Is there such a thing as a PHP script that can automatically FTP a file on certain time intervals or another action? I haven't found anything on it yet. The closest thing I've seen is 3rd party FTP apps that can be automated.

You can always add your ftp script to crontab. Which can be scheduled for specific times.

ok, so those are executed by the server not via php. I'll have to check if my host allows that.
Do you know if they can be scheduled based on an action like form submission or is it more for timed events?
Are they generally pretty easy to set up?

they are time based otherwise it would be just a form :-P
The set up depends on your server set up but if you dont know how to set them up sometimes your hosting will do it for you, then you can ask them what they do and you can make the mods from there on.
