The best way would depend on your environment and requirements:
- do you use a DMZ for ftp?
- do you require secure FTP?
- where do you store connection details?
- multiple files, size of file, etc

And when uploading:
- is the file encrypted?
- do you use a staging table?
- error handling
- data quality


If your requirement is simple, you can use the FTP task in SSIS.
We use batch files for our FTP jobs, that get called from SSIS. Now looking to move the FTP part into a Scheduling Tool (more secure).
