Sure. Use ftplib. See
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.2/lib/module-ftplib.html

Here's a code snippet from one of my scripts.

    import os, ftplib
    ftp = ftplib.FTP(Hostname,Username,Password)
    ftp.cwd(WorkingDirectory)
    ftp.storbinary("STOR " + RemoteZipFile, file(LocalZipFile, "rb"))
    ftp.quit()
    os.remove(LocalZipFile)
