You could look at lftp or ncftp. I seem to remember catting a file of
commands to ncftp to upload some files at one stage.
Or, use expect to automate it.
Run "autoexpect" and do the upload as normal, then CTRL-D and you have
all your commands stored in a file. You'll probably have to edit the
resulting expect file, but that's fairly trivial.
"man 5 expect" I think.
Donncha.
