I am supposed to write a script that will ftp a file which is a .csv and conatins the following:
Mail-id Path of file
abc@xyz.com D:\xyz\abc.htm
ash@sde.com D:\xyz\ash.htm

a)I need to FTP this file to my local machine.
b)Then read through each line of the file to get the file location of individual files.
c)Then FTP those individually to local.
d)Then send these files eg abc.htm as an attachment to abc@xyz.com
and ash.htm to ash@sde.com

You state it's a csv file - yet the information you show (contains the following) doesn't have commas separating the fields.

a) see Automate FTP / Scripting FTP transfers
b) see For loops within ftp commands - you will be combining the two scripts or calling (a) from (b).
c) This is taken into consideration in b).
d) see Sending mail attachments

Also wanted to know if sending mails from unix to others as in rediff.com or gmail.com..does this require a mail server like MS exchange server to be present on the local machine.

Not exactly. Try sending mail from that server now - does it work? If it does, then nothing more is needed. If not, then post the OS and version and check to see if you have sendmail installed. Normally you don't need to have it running to send the email - it will start and attempt to send when you 'write' the email.

CALIBRE-SMTP(1) 						      calibre							   CALIBRE-SMTP(1)

NAME

       calibre-smtp - part of calibre

SYNOPSIS

       calibre-smtp  [options] [from to text]

DESCRIPTION

       Send  mail using the SMTP protocol. calibre-smtp has two modes of operation. In the compose mode you specify from to and text and these are
       used to build and send an email message. In the filter mode, calibre-smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it.

       text is the body of the email message.  If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN.  from is the  email  address
       of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP
       negotiation, the message headers are not modified.

       Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks.

       --version
