Hi ,
U can put all the commands into a file and execute.
Example
Ftp Script:-
ftp -i -n -v Server1 << EOF
user unix unix
lcd /abc
cd /usr
put filename
bye
EOF

Hi

Do you mean send a list of files to send as defined in a file

if so

for file in $(cat )
do
ftp -inv <open
user
cd
mput $file
bye
EOF
done

Well - you can script it:

If you have a .netrc file:

ftp -v "remote-machine" << EOF
bin
put "file"
put "file1"
bye
EOF

No .netrc:

ftp -v "remote-machine" << EOF
user
prompt
bin
put "file"
put "file1"
bye
EOF
