I need a little bit of help from you. I have a similar task, well maybe not. Anyway. I have a list of files that I need to get from an ftp server. I cannot figure out how to parse that list and have it read into my ftp script. Your script is the closest that I have come to finding the answer, but I am not clear on how to actually make this work. I have tried a loop, but seeing that I am already inside of the ftp code block when I try this:
while read line; do "$file"; done < <(cat filename.txt)
My script works fine if I want to download 1 file at a time, but I have about 35 specific files that need to be downloaded.
I am truly lost, please help me if you can. I hope this is clear, I have been out of the industry for 2 yeas and i am just getting back into the saddle, Im a bit rusty.
Thanks in advance.

Below is the script I have. Any comments and suggestions on making it better would be greatly appreciated.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
clear
# change local directory
cd [local-directory]
#collect file names
ftp -ni ftp.abccompany.com <<EOF
user [user] [password]
cd /OUT
mls W945*.* list.txt
quit
EOF
# create ftp action list
echo >>todo.lst user [user] [password]
while read N
do
echo >>todo.lst cd /OUT
echo >>todo.lst get $N
echo >>todo.lst rename $N ARCHIVE/$N
done <list.txt
echo >>todo.lst quit
# ftp transfer process
ftp -nv ftp.abccompany.com <todo.lst
# cleanup
rm todo.lst
