Ok, that works for known files, but what if I have to upload new directories
& folders with files in them?

Is there a recursive feature in ftp?

It's fairly easy to use ftp in shell scripts.  I used to use the
following to upload webcam images to the webserver.

uploadpic() {
    ftp -v -i -n $host <<EOF
    user $ftpuser $ftppasswd
    binary
    put $localfilename $remotefilename
    bye
EOF
}

HTH,
