#!/bin/bash
#autoftp.sh
# use "\n" to seperate entry
# and use binary instead ascii if you think

FTPCommand="cd FTPdirectory\nascii\nput $1.backup.file\nbye"
echo -e $FTPCommand | ftp machine
echo "$1 Ftp'd to machinename"

and run this script to ftp "today.backup.file"

# ./autoftp today

Be sure to include full path if "today.backup.file" file is not in the directoy from where you execute the script.
