How to pass an array containing file names to a sftp script?

hi,

i want to pass an array parameters to a sftp script so that i can transfer each file in the array to the remote server by connecting only once to the sftp remote server.

i thought of using a variable that contains list of file names separated by a space and pass the variable to the sftp script. but inside sftp it transfers only the last file if i use multiple file name with the mput command.

mainscript.sh

Code:

FILE_NAMES="s1.txt s2.txt s3.lst"
/home/sftp_script $FILE_NAMES

sftp_script

Code:

set FILENAME [lindex $argv 0]
spawn /usr/bin/sftp abc@ftp.sample.com
expect "abc@ftp.sample.com's password:"
send "pass\r"
expect "sftp>"
send "cd Out\r"
expect "sftp>"
send "mput $FILENAME\r"
expect "sftp>"
send "bye\r"
expect eof

the above sftp script transfers only the last file. so i thought of passing an array to the sftp script and use a single array element at a time to the mput command. i donot know if it is possible or not. i hope you have understood my requirement. can someone give a better idea please.
