I would like to be able to write a shell script that would perform FTP 
file transfers on batches of files, from a BSDI server to a Mac running 
an FTPD host.
Is it possible to do batched file transfers with the unix FTP client? Can 
these be automated the the FTP macdef feature?
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has done this.
Thank-you.
