script to ftp recent changed files
I am trying to write a script to ftp all files/directories changed in a 24hour period to another AIX server. I have wrote a script to generate a list of all files changed within a 24 hour period but dont know how to then ftp these to another server. How do incorporate ftp into this script?

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

PROG=`basename $0`
DATE=`date '+%d-%m-%y:%T'`
LOG=/var/logs/$PROG.$DATE

exec > $LOG 2>&1

/usr/bin/logger -p user.info "[$PROG on `hostname`] starting"

# Find all files changed within the last 24hours excluding /proc
find / -name proc -prune -o -ctime 1 -ls > $LOG


/usr/bin/logger -p user.info "[$PROG on `hostname`] completed successfully"

exit 0

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no

	   The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to
	   make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes
	   by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
