I am working on a bash script that is going to upload a new version of xbmc4xbox to my original xbox.

my bash script downloads the latest zip file, unzip's it, grabs the old backup xml files and put's in the new download.

Then tries to ftp it to the host.

This original xbox is in my local network.

But it fails to upload folders.

Originally I tried wput but that failed too. Now I am trying regular ftp commands.
Before i do this ftp command, i do a local cd to the folder that has the newest xbmc 4 xbox code/files.

Then from that folder I try to upload all the files and folders, but it somehow err's when uploading folders.

Once I get this bash script tight and error free, I will set it to run every week, to keep my xbmc on my original xbox fully up to date.

Any suggestions?

from what I gather from googling, mput * doesn't do recursion

Is there any reason it has to be ftp?
