Subj : Automating file transfers using FTP (or similar)

Not sure if I should post this here or in Gen... but I'm opting to post here
as it's fsxNet admin related.

I'm stuck, on windows I had a batch file that called WinSCP and passed some
commands to a .tmp file that was in turn used by WinSCP. It essentially
logged in as a user and supplied password then does a 'put %1' so that the
main batch file can be called with an additional file that you wanted to FTP
to the webhost.

The bones of the old script looked like this (minus some key login info)

@echo off
echo open ftp://user@domain.com:password@domain.com -hostkey="xxx" >>
script.tmp
echo put %1 >> script.tmp
echo exit >> script.tmp
winscp /ini=nul /script=script.tmp
del script.tmp


How can I setup something that allows me to run an automated file transfer
from my Linux system to my webhost? I'm trying to set things up so that
copies of the nodelist etc. are sent there when updated on this new box.

I started to look at scp and sftp but on Linux I am lost.

Any advice appreciated.
