You can do something like this :

Code:
PUTHOST=xxxxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
PUTUSER=xxxxxxxxxx
PUTPASSWD=xxxxxxxx
FTPFILE="xxxxxx*.txt"
FTPLOG=ftp.log
FTPFILES=ftp_files.log

ls $FTPFILE > $FTPFILES
FilesCount=$(wc -l < $FTPFILES)
echo "Number of files to transfert : $FilesCount"

ftp -n -v $PUTHOST 2>&1  << EOF | tee $FTPLOG
quote USER $PUTUSER
quote PASS $PUTPASSWD
cd xxxxxxx
lcd $xxxx
mput $FTPFILE
quit
EOF

Hi Jean and Madan,

Thank you very much for sparing time and giving two different solutions.

Sorry for asking small questions. I more in my mind is,

If i use the below code where should i use the grep command to calculate the number of files?
ftp -n -i -v <<EOF >logFile
#ftp commands
EOF

I have a doubt that whether it should be used inside or outside the EOF

Regards,
Azaz Ali.

The code betwen lines <<EOF and EOF is the input for the ftp command.

Code:
ftp -n -i -v <<EOF >logFile
#ftp commands
EOF

fileCount=$(grep -c '^226' logFile)

Jean-Pierre.
