    Hi !

    You can use .netrc mechanism to authenticate user
    and do transfer trough script, in here document

    like

    ftp host << EOF
    comands

    EOF

    but I suggest to use perl and net module
    you'll have full program control on transfer

    it is much more flexible but not so usuall,
    there are exmaples in "perl cookbook" by Oreyli
