How about

/*
 * send a file via ftp
 *
 * Bugs	- no error checking/handling
 *	- password is in cleartext
 */
send(host, user, passwd, file)
	char* host;
	char* user;
	char* passwd;
	char* file;
{
	FILE* ftp;

	ftp = popen("ftp", "w");
	fprintf(ftp, "open %s\n", host);
	fprintf(ftp, "%s\n", user);
	fprintf(ftp, "%s\n", passwd);
	fprintf(ftp, "put %s\n", file);
	pclose(ftp);
}
