read a file as input and pass each line to another script
Hi, I am trying to write a ftp script which will read a file for filenames and ftp those files to another server. Here's my ftp script, but it's scanning the current directory for file names.

My question is how can I pass multiple files (these files will have the name of data files that need to be ftp'd) to this script and it will read the files for file names, check if the file exists in a particular directory, ftp those files to pc2.work.com and write a log file of all the files that have been ftpd over. I would really appreceiate some assistance. Thanks..

#!/bin/sh

temp="/tmp/$(basename $0).$$" ; trap "/bin/rm -f $temp" 0
targetdir="remote-dir"
remote="laptop.intuitive.com"

echo "taylor" > $temp
echo "cd $targetdir" >> $temp

for file in *
do
if [ -f $file ] ; then
echo "put $file $file" >> $temp
else
echo "skipping $file: not a file." >&2
fi
done

echo "quit" >> $temp

ftp $remote < $temp

exit 0

LEARN ABOUT LINUX

ftpd_selinux

ftpd_selinux(8) 					 ftpd SELinux policy documentation					   ftpd_selinux(8)

NAME

       ftpd_selinux - Security-Enhanced Linux policy for ftp daemons.

DESCRIPTION

       Security-Enhanced Linux provides security for ftp daemons via flexible mandatory access control.

FILE_CONTEXTS
       SELinux requires files to have a file type. File types may be specified with semanage and are restored with restorecon.	Policy governs the
       access that daemons have to files.

       Allow ftp servers to read the /var/ftp directory by adding the public_content_t file type to the directory and by restoring the file type.

       semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/ftp(/.*)?"

       restorecon -F -R -v /var/ftp

       Allow ftp servers to read and write /var/tmp/incoming by adding the public_content_rw_t type to the directory and  by  restoring  the  file
       type.  This also requires the allow_ftpd_anon_write boolean to be set.

       semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t "/var/ftp/incoming(/.*)?"

       restorecon -F -R -v /var/ftp/incoming

BOOLEANS

       SELinux policy is based on least privilege required and may also be customizable by setting a boolean with setsebool.

       Allow ftp servers to read and write files with the public_content_rw_t file type.

       setsebool -P allow_ftpd_anon_write on

       Allow ftp servers to read or write files in the user home directories.

       setsebool -P ftp_home_dir on

       Allow ftp servers to read or write all files on the system.

       setsebool -P allow_ftpd_full_access on

       Allow ftp servers to use cifs for public file transfer services.

       setsebool -P allow_ftpd_use_cifs on

       Allow ftp servers to use nfs for public file transfer services.

       setsebool -P allow_ftpd_use_nfs on

       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
