The command 'ncftpput' (in the ncftp package) was designed for ftp'ing
from a script. ncftp is a _highly_ recommended FTP package.
But more pertinent to your goal, to update a website you want to look
at 'rdist'. From the manpage
Rdist is a program to maintain identical copies of files over
multiple hosts. It preserves the owner, group, mode, and mtime of
files if possible and can update programs that are executing.
HTH and
Hope you have a very nice day, :-)
