Please find scripts for ftp :
### Variables for data ###
### export not required if defined in same ### ### shell program
export UK_FILE_IN=/x/k/unitedkingdom
export NE_FILE_IN=/x/k/netherlands
export HOSTDIR=/l/k/Bat
export HOSTIPADDR=1.2.3.4
export HOSTUSER=USER
export HOSTPASS=PASS
export NO_SEC=10
export SEND_FLAG="N"
export FTP="ftp -nvd"
while true
do
if [[ -f $UK_FILE_IN ]]
then
FILE_TO_SEND=$UK_FILE_IN
SEND_FLAG="Y"
elif [[ -f $NE_FILE_IN ]]
then
FILE_TO_SEND=$NE_FILE_IN
SEND_FLAG="Y"
else
sleep $NO_SEC
fi;
if [[ $SEND_FLAG = "Y" ]]
then
FTP $HOSTIPADDR <<-ENDFTP 2>&1
user=$HOSTUSER $HOSTPASS
prompt off
put $FILE_TO_SEND $HOSTDIR
bye
ENDFTP
SEND_FLAG = "N"
fi;
done
Mezzie,Please note that -
1)The scripts don't have a loop breaking condition (in such case from_time to to_time does work.
2)To varify whether ftp is successful ,you probably need to append the script to write FTP log into a file & egreping "Transfer Complete" in it.
In case of further queries,feel free to ask.

You might consider putting the machine name, user id and password into the $HOME directory file .netrc and set rw permissions for the user only (chmod go-rw .netrc). This will prevent the user id and password from being seen within the script.
You'll have to confirm the syntax for the .netrc entry, but I think it is:
machine IP address logon userid password password
