Script for FTPing files to mainframe GDG

Hi,

Request Unix gurus to kindly share a script which FTPs multiple files from Unix to a Mainframe GDG.

The script should check for oldest file named as 'abc*.txt' in a directory '/dir/child'. FTP that file to MF, then remove the file from unix and then look for the next oldest file to be sent.

Dont know abt syntax and logic but this is what I want

while (ls -tr abc* | head -1)
{
FILENAME = $(ls -tr /dir/child/abc*.txt | head -1)
#more commands to send the file through FTP to Mainframe
rm /dir/child/$FILENAME
}

thanks
DSR
