Here's a quick example how you can use ftp to transfer your updated txt files: 
use strict;
use warnings;

use Net::FTP;

my ($ftp);
my $host      = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
my $directory = "destination";
my $localDir  = "C:\textfiles";

print "Connecting to $host ...";
if ($ftp=Net::FTP->new($host,Timeout=>240))
{
    print "Successful\n";
    print "Logging in ...";
    if ($ftp->login("username","password"))
    {
        print "Successful\n";
        print "Changing Directory to $directory ...";
        if ($ftp->cwd($directory))
        {
            print "Successful\n";
            print "Transfering Files\n";
            &FileSend($localDir);
            $ftp->quit;
        }
        else
        {
            print "Failed\n";
        }
    }
    else
    {
        print "Failed\n";
    }
}
else
{
    print "Failed\n";
}

    if (opendir DIR, $dir)
    {

            #print "$file\n";
            if ($file =~ /txt$/)  #finds plain text files
            {
                print "Sending htm files $file ... ";
                if ($ftp->put($file))
                 {
                     print "Successful\n";
                     #unlink ($file);  # delete file after ftp
                }
                else
                {
                    print "Failed\n";
                }
            }
            else 
            {
                next;
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {
        print "Error opening handle\n";
    }
}
