FTP script

I am trying to write a script that will ftp a file to a remote server then end the ftp connection to that server when the file has been transfered.

The problem is when I use the line "ftp 10.0.0.1" in the script. Then ftp wants a username and password. How can I hard code the user name and password in the script and set the script up to enter it automtically.

I also need to use the script to end the ftp session but when the ftp command is called the control moves to the remote computer.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to use a script to create an ftp session, push a file, then end the session one the file is pushed please do tell.

NAME
simpleftp - rudimentary ftp client SYNOPSIS
simpleftp ftp://... [ ... ] DESCRIPTION
simpleftp is a perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion. It takes one or more ftp URLS on the command line. The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same basename as on the remote; i.e., ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz is stored as active.gz in the current directory. BUGS
simpleftp is an extremely poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities. It was written only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/ without requir- ing administrators to install yet another package. Its shortcomings as a general purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that stands out is that simpleftp does not understand the complete syntax of URLs, only the hostname and pathname parts -- it will not under- stand username, password, port or parameter strings.
