Thank you for your reply bakunin and I appologies for my mistake.
My comment "this is a learning curve" and "do it myself" meant that I would like to learn something about scripting with the help of others using this forum, and learning from examples of code to understand how they work. As I stated, at the moment I'm using a third party software namely "Script FTP" to do the work for me.
I have no idea about scripting and that's why I posted in this section "Unix for dummies".
If somebody could help me edit the code I submitted or point me in the direction of finding some that would do what I want and how to execute it, I would be very grateful.
The reason for the 10 second continuous upload is for a live webcam.
Many thanks

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.
