automating a ftp job from your local system to a unix system... hmm... unless your .csv's are uniquely timestamped it might not work in your favor. you can always cd into the folder from command line (windows) and then ftp to the remote server. use the options:
Code:
prompt
mput *

or use a ftp tool like filezilla (i usually suggest this to any users who are non-tech savvy as it has a gui interface) and drag and drop.

this is untested as I just wrote it, but more or less should work from a unix system but you will have to adjust it for your needs:

Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh

ftp=/usr/bin/ftp

PD=<local directory> 
TS=`/usr/bin/date +%Y%m%d`

$ftp -inv <host> <<__EOFTP > path/to/log/ftp.$TS.log 2>&1
user <username> <password>
lcd $PD
cd <path to directory>
ascii <or use whichever format you want
put `<filename>`
bye
__EOFTP

but keep in mind that is only for a specific filename. you would have to use
Code:
 prompt and mput

if you are importing or getting all files from that folder.

be sure to try this out manually first line by line prior to making this a consistent job.

UPDATE-DESKTOP-DATABASE(1)				      General Commands Manual					UPDATE-DESKTOP-DATABASE(1)

NAME

       update-desktop-database - Build cache database of MIME types handled by desktop files

SYNOPSIS

       update-desktop-database [-q|--quiet] [-v|--verbose] [DIRECTORY...]

DESCRIPTION

       The update-desktop-database program is a tool to build a cache database of the MIME types handled by desktop files.

       The  cache database contains the list of MIME types that can be handled by desktop files, as well as, for each MIME type, a list of desktop
       files that can handle this MIME type. This cache database ease the work of applications that need to find an application that  can  open  a
       document  of  a specific MIME type: those applications will not have to parse all the desktop files existing on the system, and can instead
       parse this cache database.

       If no DIRECTORY is specified as argument, the desktop files that will be processed are the ones installed in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications.

       If both the --quiet and --verbose options are used, then --verbose will be ignored.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -q, --quiet
	      Do not display any information about processing and updating progress.

       -v, --verbose
	      Display more information about processing and updating progress.

NOTES

       If an invalid MIME type is met, it will be ignored and the creation of the cache database will continue.

       The format of the cache database is a simple desktop entry format, with a MIME Cache group, containing one key per MIME type. The key  name
       is the MIME type, and the key value is the list of desktop file that can handle this MIME type.

       The  order  of the desktop files found for a MIME type is not significant.  Therefore, an external mechanism must be used to determine what
       is the preferred desktop file for a MIME type.

EXAMPLE

       Here is a simple example of a cache database:

	       [MIME Cache]
	       application/x-shellscript=gedit.desktop;
	       text/plain=gedit.desktop;gvim.desktop;
	       video/webm=totem.desktop;

       This cache database is created with three desktop files, each containing a MimeType key:

	       gedit.desktop: MimeType=text/plain;application/x-shellscript;
	       gvim.desktop: MimeType=text/plain;
	       totem.desktop: MimeType=video/webm;

FILES

       $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications/mimeinfo.cache

	      This file is the cache database created by update-desktop-database.
