Using FTP Batch Scripts

7 New Member
I have to transfer the files from my machine to a remotee machine using FTP script so for that currently i'm using the following

ftp -s:ftp_test.txt

and in ftp_test.txt i have written :--

open X.X.X.X
abc
abc123
bin
hash
cd /home/abc/data
put source.tar
put testfile.bsh
quit


But in the ftp_test.txt file i need soome changes . I want to get the working directory which is set as environmental variable in ftp_test.txt.
so is it possible to write the above script as :

open X.X.X.X
abc
abc123
bin
hash
cd $work_dir
put source.tar
put testfile.bsh
quit

Where $work_dir is set at command prompt

Kindly suggest
