Hi, please correct me if there is any wrong in this script. Hope the files which are intended to be transfered are ascii files.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
result=`/usr/bin/ftp -dvin << EOF
open "$1"   # IP address (or) hostname
user <username> <passwd>
lcd /home/foo/temp
cd /home/foo/cfiles
ascii
hash
bell
mput *.c
close
bye
EOF`

value=`echo "$result" | grep "226 Transfer complete" | wc -l`

[ "${value}" -ge 1 ] && { echo "$value files transferred"; exit 0; }
echo "FTP Failure"; exit 1

you can use 'on' command to move the files which are transfered to another location in that remote client. See man page to get more details about 'on' command.
