Try this:
---------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# Load the homepages up to the www-server
#-------------------
ftp_server=ftp.geocities.com
ftp_account=anonymous
ftp_password=werner.koch@guug.de
ftp_directory=/pub/homestead
www_account=wk
www_password=secret
files=$(ls *.html *.gif *.zip 2>/dev/null)
(
echo user $ftp_account $ftp_password
echo bin
echo hash
echo cd $ftp_directory
for i in $files; do
echo put $i $i.$www_account.$www_password
done;
echo bye
) | ftp -n -v $ftp_server
