linux script to automate ftp operation

Question

I need to transfer a file from my linux server to a FTP server.

My shell script is :

    #! /bin/ksh

    HOST=\'my_ip\'
    USER=\'userid\'
    PASS

If you are root or have admin privileges then you shouldn't need to sudo your way into making a directory. It will be best to run remote commands without sudo just in case a malicious code piggybacks your script
