Perhaps you are asking for a script to trasnfer a file using FTP to an FTP server (local or remote).
If so, I would create 2 files:
1) .ftp_put.cfg
2) ftp_trasnsfer.ksh script
Note that I have removed the login parameters from the script.
This way you can modify the login parameter to point to any server without modifying the actual ftp script.
.ftp_put.cfg
-----------------------
FTP_HOST=your.host.com
FTP_LOGIN=your_account
FTP_PASSWORD=your_password
ftp_transfer.ksh
-----------------------
#!/bin/ksh
localFile=$1
remoteFile=$2
#source FTP parameters
. .ftp_put.cfg
mylog=ftp_session.log
echo "$(date "+%H:%M:%S") - Attempt to FTP $1 to $2" > $mylog
# do the FTP put
ftp -i -n <<EOF >> $mylog
open $FTP_HOST
user $FTP_LOGIN $FTP_PASSWORD
put $localFile $remoteFile
ls $remoteFile
quit
EOF
Warning!! This script does not have any transfer verification logic.
usage sample:
ftp_transfer.ksh readme.txt /pub/dir1/readme.txt

SIMPLEFTP(1) InterNetNews Documentation SIMPLEFTP(1)
NAME
simpleftp - Rudimentary FTP client
SYNOPSIS
simpleftp url [...]
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; e.g., <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz> is stored as active.gz in the current directory.
The script properly understands usernames, passwords and ports specified as follows:
ftp://user:password@host:port/path/file
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/pgpcontrol/> or
<ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/> without requiring 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 downloaded files by simpleftp override existing files with the
same name in the local directory.
