As someone who operates a public access ftp site, I'd really, really, REALLY 
appreciate it if folks would at least put a "sleep 5s" into that script to 
keep it from hammering the FTP server so hard! (Granted, I don't run a high 
volume site, but a Pentium 166 can only serve so many FTP sessions at a time, 
y'know?).
