ftp command line client

Hi,

I would like to connect to my SFTP server using command line client.
I have just installed key so I dont need a password to login.

The problem is that I have to some ftp client in my backup script but I dont know which one can do this.

Is there any linux ftp client which can run a queue of tasks on SFTP server ?
I have found lftp but I dont know how to use it. Manual is not human readable.

I`m looking for something like this:

lftp -u ftp_user host_name -c mkdir first_folder mkdir second_folder mkdir third_folder

Someclient which can execute a lot of commands in one line.

Maybe somebody knows how to do it ?

so FTP is **NOT** SFTP, it really is important that you understand the difference. lftp handles both though, so that's OK

So from the manpage:

Quote:

-c commands
Execute the given commands and exit. Commands can be separated with a semicolon, `&&'
or `||'. Remember to quote the commands argument properly in the shell. This option
must be used alone without other arguments.
