FTP Script Help!!
I am trying to write a script that allows me to check a directory for files that i will sftp to another server.

When the file is created it creates a .ready file that is supposed to signal a file is fully created and ready to sftp. for example a file named 10312014.13.07.40.27711113 would have trailing 10312014.13.07.40.27711113.ready file as well.

i dont know how to properly check for 10312014.13.07.40.27711113.ready and if it's there sftp 10312014.13.07.40.27711113.

below is what I have so far, it's just a shell of an idea, I'm stuck and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Code:
#!/bin/bash
source /opt/foobar/$1/config/usrconfig.sh
source  /opt/foobar/$ENV/config/$2

### foobar environment variables ###
export FTPHOST="sftpserv.foobar.com"                                    # server to ftp to
export FTPUSR="usmssh"                                              # ftp user id
export FTPPASS=""                                      # ftp user password
export PATTERN=                                      # pattern for file name to ftp
export USING_MARKER=no                                          # using a marker file???
#export TDEMARKER="X"                                    # pattern for marker file if no files to ftp
export FTPDIR="prod/TDE/in/"  # directory to ftp to on ftp server
export DAEMONLOG=/opt/foobar/$ENV/log/TDEdeamon.log
export DAEMONSLEEP=10
export CURRDATE=`date +%Y%m%d`
export READDIR=/opt/foobar/$ENV/data/TDE/output
export TEMP=/opt/foobar/$ENV/tmp
export TDE_BACKUP=$APP_ROOT/data/TDE/backup/

cd $READDIR
if [ -f  $READDIR ]
   then
     echo " $CURRDATE files found to send!"
   else
     echo "no files found in $READDIR to send!"
     exit
fi
sleep 2


for i in `ls $READDIR`
 do
        cp $i $TDE_BACKUP
        echo $i


        if [ -f $i.ready ]
        then
         rm *.ready

			/usr/bin/sftp $FTPUSR@$FTPHOST << E_O_F
			cd $FTPDIR
			put  $i
			ls -l $PATTERN*
			quit
E_O_F
        else
        echo "No files are ready"
        fi
done
