Do not forget that dupload, with all its features, work fine for this job. Add your private info in your ~/.dupload.conf like:

$cfg{iafexp} = {
        fqdn => "ftp.internatif.org",
        incoming => "/home/ftp/pub/debian/EXPERIMENTAL",
        login => "bortz",
        method => "scp",
        mailto => "bortzmeyer\@debian.org",        # stable, unstable
        mailtx => "bortzmeyer\@debian.org",  # experimental
        visibleuser => "bortzmeyer",
        visiblename => "debian.org",
        fullname => "Stephane Bortzmeyer"
};

And then you can do:

dupload --to iafexp mypackage-1.2.changes

Just as you would upload to master.
