Thanks in advance

1)One way is to write like this.
ftp server<<EOF
ftp command 1
ftp command 2
.......
bye
EOF
There shouldn't be iany leading space before the last EOF. You can use any string in place of EOF.
2) Second way is
(ftp command1 ; sleep 1; ftp command 2 ; sleep 1; ftp command 3; sleep 1 )| ftp server
This should work fine . Note the "sleeps" .. they are added to give the server some time to respond. The only problem is it sends it as a bunch to the server and if the server is slow then it may not work correctly(1%).
3) Third way is to use TCL expect. Expect allows you to automate anything. It's brilliant.
