You could:
* write a script or alias containing a "here" document for ftp simulating
your commands
* use some userland utility (chat? the aforementioned ncftpput? some
scripting utility I've used but forgotten the name of?) to talk to ftp,
and which would have better error handling than '<<'
* add an alias to ~/.netrc
* there was once upon a time an "ftpfs", but I don't know what became of
it. I suspect it is rather flaky.
I vote for #3, as I've never used ncftpput (it may be better for all I
know), and I've used ~/.netrc.
