Is there any POSSIBLE way with a plug in or any type of external intervention to upload a pic from a container field to flicker or photobucket or for that manner just to an ftp site.

There are several plugins that can talk to FTP...

Comm-unity Networking Systems FTPit

Youseful - Netway

Also not much you can't do with PHP

Scodigo - SmartPill PHP Edition

Shubeck - PHPowered

If it's on a Mac you may not need a plug-in. There's a built-in command line tool which can be run from AppleScript, via the FileMaker Perform AppleScript step. Example of the AppleScript:

do shell script "curl -T " & (quoted form of POSIX path of "path:to:image.gif") & " " & "ftp://user:[email protected]/path/"

-- upload to directory, curl will append specified file name
