I'll second Tony on this. I have been using cURL for years whenever I
need to send/receive data. The HTTP/HTTPS protocol stuff is especially
good because you can manipulate the HTTP headers.
I have a couple FTP routines (for a Windows based system but easily
adapted for Unix) using cURL here:
http://www.schasny.com/BP/FTP.SEND
http:/www.schasny.com/BP/FTP.GET
Also, if you are REALLY against writing out a command file,you could put
a bunch of commands together on one line using command separators (';'
in Unix and '&' in Windows)

Having written FTP interfaces with MV before (in production use
at end-user sites) my recommendation is that you shift to cURL.
- It's a high quality utility,
- well supported,
- does much more than FTP,
- adapts to Secure FTP without you having yet again go learn a
new utility,
- cross-platform,
- easy to install
- well documented,
- and free.
Because it's cross-platform the only changes to your app code
that are required would be making sure that you have your
directories identified properly with proper slashes, and other
OS-specific details. But cURL itself, unlike FTP, works exactly
the same on all platforms.
And no, I don't sell it or get a commission for referrals.
*sigh* ;)

Currently I use something like: (Using Universe under Unix)
CMD="ftp -n <<EOF"
[snip]
EXECUTE "sh -c '":CMD:"'" CAPTURING JUNK
Is there a way to do this in Windows as well?
