FTP Shell
Hi,
I know this topic is on the forum a bit but I am totally new to Unix and I am really struggling and could do with some help.
I need to write a shell script which will ftp a file from my Oracle Apps DB to a remote ftp server.
I undertand about how I can schedule it with a cron job but I just can't get the actual shell to run when I execute it.
Could anyone please put me in the direction of (or post me even) some real basic, step by step procedures of what is needed to create a shell script which will connect and put a file from Unix DB server to remote ftp- I mean really really really basic - I'd massively appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

SIMPLEFTP(1) InterNetNews Documentation SIMPLEFTP(1)
NAME
simpleftp - Rudimentary FTP client
SYNOPSIS
simpleftp url [...]
DESCRIPTION
simpleftp is a Perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion. It takes one or more FTP
URLs on the command line. The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same basename
as on the remote; e.g., <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz> is stored as active.gz in the current directory.
The script properly understands usernames, passwords and ports specified as follows:
ftp://user:password@host:port/path/file
BUGS
simpleftp is an extremely poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities. It was written
only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/> or
<ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/> without requiring administrators to install yet another package. Its shortcomings as a general
purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that stands out is that downloaded files by simpleftp override existing files with the
same name in the local directory.
