FTP shell script

I need to mput a few hundred files from on of my servers to another, and I dont have the desire to sit there till it is done.

I have a very basic knowledge of C php and perl and with that I was able to figure out a shell script that *almost* works for me. It works with the put command, but I cand figure out how to get it to work with the mput command

Code: 
#!/bin/sh
HOST='ftp.host.net'
USER='yourid'
PASSWD='yourpw'
FILE='file.txt'

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
put $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0
Thanks for any help.

BTW: while I'm asking this I'll ask another similar question too:

The scenario: I have several images that I need to create thumbs for. I have downloaded and compiled the latest version of NetPBM. This will do the job for me.

The problem: If I have 200 images i need thumbs for, I dont want to have to sit here typing in the command for each and every one.

Here's the basics
Assume the image is called "test.jpg", size of it is 1024x768. I
want
a thumnail of 100x100 at max, but leave the aspect ratio.

# jpegtopnm test.jpg > test.pnm

This extract the JPEG to the (non-lossy) PNM format

# pnmscale -xysize 100 100 test.pnm > test_thumb.pnm

-xysize specifies a bounding box. pnmscale scales the input image to
the
largest size that fits within the box, while preserving its aspect
ratio.

# pnmtojpeg --quality 75 test_thumb.pnm > test_thumb.jpg

Converts the pnm to a jpeg, using the jpeg lossy quality of 75%.
So what I need is some kind of script I can run that will do that for me. I specify the directory with the images it, and the word (say tn_) preceeding the thumb.

Thanks again FTP shell script
