FTP from a script is easy

#!/bin/ksh

USER="whoever"
PASSWORD="whatever"

ftp_function() {
     # Connect with non-interactive ftp session (-i)
     # and restrain attempt to auto-login (-n)
     # ftp(1)
     ftp -ni << EOT

     # Login
     echo "$USER"
     echo "$PASSWORD"

     # change local dir (if necessary)
     echo "lcd $localDir"

     # change remote directory (if necessary)
     echo "cd $remoteDir"

     # change to binary transfer (use "as" for
     # an ascii transfer)
     echo "bi"

     # get your files.  Use echo "mput $files"
     # to put files to the remote side.
     echo "mget $files"

     # wave goodbye.
     echo "by"
EOT
}

files=$(ls /path/*.ext)
remoteDir="/PATH/To/REMOTE"
localDir="/PATH/TO/LOCAL"

ftp_function

Its late...so if I got anything wrong, I apologize.
