Hi Vijay,

Generating a CSV file for export via Apex is pretty straight forward [1].  The problem is going to be that you cannot directly interact with an FTP system via Apex.  I would suggest that you try to setup a web application that you can do a POST call to and that saves your CSV file to disk.  I would also recommend reviewing the asynchronous apex [2] and integration [3] trailheads.
  1. http://www.salesforcetutorial.com/how-to-export-data-in-csv-by-using-apex-code/
  2. https://developer.salesforce.com/trailhead/module/asynchronous_apex
  3. https://developer.salesforce.com/trailhead/module/apex_integration_services

Please close this thread by marking it as solved if it helps.

Best Regards,
