This is what I did using a tcsh shell under Mac OS 10.2.3 with curl as delivered by Apple.:

cd /Volumes/HEAO/MacBattery/Slides50k
foreach fff (*.jpg)
  curl -n ftp://macnauchtan.com/public_html/pub/MacBattery/Slides50k/ -T $fff
end

It worked like a charm and I don't do things like that very often but. . .

In an academic learning context, is there some way I could have used {} notation to ask curl to glob the 21 files and effect the transfer without the overhead of repeated connections?
