http://wput.sourceforge.net/ is your friend, as it can limit bandwidth,
resume broken uploads if the ftp server supports it too, and retry on
network breaks any number of times you specify.

You can peruse the manual at http://wput.sourceforge.net/wput.1.html to see
that it will accomplish everything that you asked for.

No. These files are part of a local application and are being backed up to
the Miami office.

We tried uploading them to an intermediary location and then downloading
them from there. But the upload process doesn't work much better, it
requires more manpower (now I need someone to upload the fileset, and
someone else to download the fileset), and it requires me to keep someone in
Miami well after their normal working hours (since the branch office is one
to two hours behind the Miami office, and the files originate from there
upon their closing). The files need to be in Miami so that they can be
worked on overnight (by the app in the Miami office) and the Miami staff can
have their necessary reports when they come in in the morning. I can't have
someone downloading the file in the morning and then running all the
analyses and reports, because the local staff would have nothing to work on
until close to lunchtime.

No. See my previous post.

I need a point-to-point solution. Even if it takes half of the night. As
long as the files get there, and the process doesn't abort and call it a
night, I'll be happy.
