using curl in a script
Hello everyone

I'm currently using a script to upload files (different file names, but same date) to an ftp server (see below)

Code:
#!/bin/sh

# Set the variables
HOST=<host>
USER=<user>
PASSWD=<password>

ftp -i -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT 
user ${USER} ${PASSWD}
mput cbl_client_interface_${DATE}.csv
quit
END_SCRIPT

exit 0

Now I've been given the task to use the "ftps" protocol to upload the files. I've been advised to use the "curl" utility.

It is possible to use curl with ftps to transfer files like in the example above?

P.S. I'm using Solaris 10

	   put <filename> upload script to server.

       -r realm, --realm=realm
