shell script to ftp multiple files

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

i use the below script to send a single file to remote server from linux.

                ftp -nvi <<!EOF
                open $Host_name
                user $USER_ID $PWD
                binary
                mput $file_name
                quit
                !EOF (where i get host,user and pwd from another file)

what if i want to send multiple file as input.
the script should be run as,

>> ./ftp.sh file1 file2 file3 file4

the no.of file given as input will vary!:confused:

thanks,
Pradeep
