Here is a good example where you can setup a script to semd out files

```auto
#!/bin/bash
set -x

HOST='web8.host.com'
USER='username''
PASSWD='password'

do_ftp_mput()
{
     ftp -d -in -i $HOST <<EOT
        user $USER $PASSWD
        cd /path/path/path
        binary
        $1
EOT
}
 
 filenames=`ls`
 put_commands=`echo "$filenames" | sed 's/^/put /'`
 echo "$put_commands"
 do_ftp_mput "$put_commands"
 
#mv $filenames path/path/path
exit 0

```
