Schedule the program that needs to perform the data transfer. It will need to perform a network connection and that will trigger the dial-up (if you enable "Dial whenever ..." in Internet Options -> Connection). Simply having a connection will not perform a data transfer. You'll a program that does that. The program trying to make a connection will trigger the dial-up. So schedule the program instead.
