I also would put a sleep command between each upload (especially if they are large files)...makes it safer that each will be completed.

Also you haven't said whether or not there would be any other filenames of this 'format' as you put it. If there are no other files that start 111 in the directory - then a simple mget \'111* would suffice and you could just put the sleep command after this before you exit. If this is the case use ftp -i (to turn off the interactive prompting for mget).

NAME

       ecaccess-file-mput - Upload Multiple Local Files on the ECaccess File System at once

SYNOPSIS

       ecaccess-file-mput -version|-help|-manual

       ecaccess-file-mput [-debug] [-progress] [-force] [-umask mode] [-bufsize length] source-local-file [...] target-ecaccess-directory

DESCRIPTION

       Allow uploading Multiple Local Files on target-ecaccess-directory at once.

       The target-ecaccess-directory is in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File Management" section of the
       "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.

       Please note this command is not recursive and will only upload plain-files (directories specified as source-ecaccess-file are ignored).

ARGUMENTS

       source-local-file [...]
	       The name(s) of the source File(s).

       target-ecaccess-directory
	       The name of the target ECaccess Directory.

OPTIONS

       -progress
	       Provide a progress meter on the standard terminal, allowing to monitor the file transmission in real-time. The progress bar is
	       removed from the terminal when the transmission is done. This option is not supported and ignored on Windows platforms.

       -force  Overrides the interactive mode and upload each file without prompting.

       -umask mode
	       The user file-creation mode mask (umask) is used to determine the file permission for newly created files. The default value is
	       640.

       -bufsize length
	       Specify the length of the buffer (in bytes) which is used to upload the files.  The larger the buffer the smaller the number of
	       http/s requests. By default a buffer of 10485760 bytes(10MB) is used.

       -version
	       Display version number and exits.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -manual Prints the manual page and exits.

       -debug  Display the SOAP messages exchanged.
