How to automate an FTP process?

Hello script experts,

I am newbie to shell script. But I have to write a shell script (ASAP) where I need to ftp a file on daily basis to a remote server, and send an email with final status. I I should have a properties file with hostname, Userid, and pwd. And a shall script file should read the values from that property file and check the file (abc.txt) availability in the local server and ftp the file. Log the error to abc.log file Send an email with final status

Can any body help me with a sample code or a link where I can find some examples?

Thanks in advance for your help.
