This is an example script script that creates a 'ftp' script that 'puts' the files from the last sunday thru saturday to remote host:

Code:

echo 'ftp -vn FTP2 <<ENDSCRIPT' >>ftp_script.sh
echo 'user userid pass' >>ftp_script.sh
echo 'cd /path/to/dir' >>ftp_script.sh
echo 'lcd /path/to/dir' >>ftp_script.sh
echo put Sales_`date -d '-8day' +%Y%m%d`_report.csv >>ftp_script.sh
echo put Sales_`date -d '-7day' +%Y%m%d`_report.csv >>ftp_script.sh
echo put Sales_`date -d '-6day' +%Y%m%d`_report.csv >>ftp_script.sh
echo put Sales_`date -d '-5day' +%Y%m%d`_report.csv >>ftp_script.sh
echo put Sales_`date -d '-4day' +%Y%m%d`_report.csv >>ftp_script.sh
echo put Sales_`date -d '-3day' +%Y%m%d`_report.csv >>ftp_script.sh
echo put Sales_`date -d '-2day' +%Y%m%d`_report.csv >>ftp_script.sh
echo quit >>ftp_script.sh
echo 'ENDSCRIPT' >>ftp_script.sh
echo 'rc=$?' >>ftp_script.sh
echo 'if [[ $rc != 0 ]];    then' >>ftp_script.sh
echo '  echo "Error occured...$rc" `date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S"`' >>ftp_script.sh
echo 'else' >>ftp_script.sh
echo '  echo "Successful transfer...$rc" `date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S"`' >>ftp_script.sh
echo 'fi' >>ftp_script.sh

Code:

$ cat ftp_script.sh
ftp -vn FTP2 <<ENDSCRIPT
user userid pass
cd /path/to/dir
lcd /path/to/dir
put Sales_20130901_report.csv
put Sales_20130902_report.csv
put Sales_20130903_report.csv
put Sales_20130904_report.csv
put Sales_20130905_report.csv
put Sales_20130906_report.csv
put Sales_20130907_report.csv
quit
ENDSCRIPT
rc=$?
if [[ $rc != 0 ]];      then
  echo "Error occured...$rc" `date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S"`
else
  echo "Successful transfer...$rc" `date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S"`
fi
