Just replace the strings 'REPLACE' with the information of your server. Here is the only part of the code you must change.

# Temporal destination for the unzipped backup.
# For example, /home/jorge/Código/site_backup/tmp
DESTINATION = 'REPLACE'
HOST = 'REPLACE'  # Replace with your FTP. For example, ftp.example.com
PASSWORD = getpass.getpass('FTP password: ')
PATH = '/'
PORT = 21
# Destination of the ZIP backup
# For example, /home/jorge/Código/site_backup/
ZIP_DESTINATION = 'REPLACE'

The code comments are self-explainatory. When you are done with this simple changes, just execute the Python file: python main.py.
