I have seen the script posted yesterday for automated ftp

Can we do some thing like ftp ing multiple files in one script

Example input.txt has all files names to be ftped

input.txt ------
a.tar
b.ccp
c.perl

i need to ftp all the files present in input.txt


i tried something like this

#! /usr/bin/ksh

HOST=remote.host.name
USER=whoever
PASSWD=whatever
cat input.txt | while ln=`line`
do
exec 4>&1
ftp -nv >&4 2>&4 |&

print -p open $HOST
print -p user $USER $PASSWD
print -p cd directory
print -p binary
print -p put $ln

wait
exit 0

done




but this gets hanged after ftping the first file
then i have to give a Ctrl C to come out of it
