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
