Export and FTP in 1 Step

We were chatting about Aperture today and got on the subject of exporting and uploading via FTP directly from Aperture. After some quick googling, I came up with a couple interesting links.
Obviously the beauty here is that you could export versions and FTP to NextProof all in a single step.

FTP Status

I currently use Transmit for Mac when uploading. Passive mode option is located in Preferences->Network.
