FTP repeat sending files
Hi everyone.
I wrote a ftp script for sending files.
Code:
while read FNAME
do
# Begin ftp
ftp -i -n $HOST << END
user $USER $PASSWD
put $FNAME $FNAME
quit
END
# End ftp
done < ftp_sending_list.dat

HOST, USER and PASSWD are my account data.

This script quits ftp for many times and this is not the best way, I think.
Does anyone know how to put while lines into ftp script??
Thanks.
