[ale] Question about ftp'ing files

[Jim Kinney]

I would use rsync for this.

At the least, loop through the FILE=  to build a list. What's happening is
touch3 overwrites touch2 which overwrites touch1.

for myfile in $(ls -rt <path>/<file_pattern>); do FILE="${FILE} ${myfile}";
done
do ftp and add -i flag so multiple files can be pushed up at once without
prompting when using mput instead of put.
