AppleScript FTP putting files

[cdoyle1966]

I am new to Mac and AppleScript. Trying to figure out how to replicate a PC batch file.

Batch file changes directory, issues ftp command that pulls in a .txt file with the ftp commands. The .txt file logs in, changes to correct directory and uses "put" command to load the file.

Batch file:
cd\webspecial
ftp -s:runspecial.txt
exit

runspecial.txt file:
open www.starmarketandcatering.com
username
password
cd web
put c:\webspecial\specials.shtml
quit

Trying to replicate this with AppleScript. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'd look more to a shell script than to AppleScript. AppleScript's strength is interacting with GUI apps which you don't seem to be doing here.

Look also at the 'expect' command: read 'man expect'

#! /bin/bash
curl -T /some/where/specials.shtml -u username:password \
ftp://www.starmarketandcatering.com/web/
