Don't use ftp in scripts; it is intended for interactive use, and is not well suited to scripts.
Either use scp, if possible, or use the ncftp family of commands (e.g. ncftpput).

Detailed interface description follows.
indent

Default indent is calculated as TTY_WIDTH-10. If current tty width can not be determined (for example, in case of serial console), it
