Is and if how is this possible with PHP?
If you have an FTP server running on www.bbb.com, then it is possible. 
Here are the relevant functions:

   http://php.net/ftp

And here's some relevant sample code from that page:

<snip>

<?php
$ftp_server = "www.bbb.com";
$ftp_user_name = "joeuser";
$ftp_user_pass = "secret";
$source_file = "somefile.txt";
$destination_file = "somefile.txt";
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); 

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); 

// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { 
       echo "FTP connection has failed!";
       echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name"; 
       exit; 
   } else {
       echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";
   }

// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY); 

// check upload status
if (!$upload) { 
       echo "FTP upload has failed!";
   } else {
       echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destination_file";
   }

// close the FTP stream 
ftp_close($conn_id); 
?>

</snip>

You could also resort to a more platform specific solutions, perahps 
with scp (using exec() or backticks `scp file.txt 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dest/path/file.txt` ).

Good luck.
