File upload to server via FTP via linux command line

Navigation

Good morning. I have some doubts regarding a project that I am finishing using linux (I do not have much domain).

I have a program written in C that generates .txt files, I should make this program run every day (until then, I know I should use crontab functionality). After this file is generated I send it to a server via FTP. At this point I do not know how to proceed, since I must access the directory that the file was generated, open connection with FTP and send it.

Another question I'm having is, what is the advantage of using a send to a server through the FTP protocol?

Edit 1:

I made the script and it works until I pass in the variable file the source file and the source file, however it is necessary to declare a new name, and I would just like to duplicate the files from one place to another.

Following script: 

#!/bin/bash
HOST='192.168.8.151'
usuario='ftp_tentativas'
senha='passwdwillian01'
arquivo='/var/www/html/log/Export/*.csv'

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
user ${usuario} ${senha}

cd recebe
put $arquivo
cp /var/www/html/log/Export/*.* /var/www/html/log/Enviados/.
rm /var/www/html/log/Export/*.* 

quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

Error presenting: 

?Invalid command
Could not create file.
Remove directory operation failed.

When done 'by hand' directly by the console it shows the destination equal to the source, not creating the file correctly. 

ftp> put /var/www/html/log/Export/*.csv
local: /var/www/html/log/Export/Relatorio_Qualidade_20180730.csv remote: /var/www/html/log/Export/Relatorio_Qualidade_20180730.csv
227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,8,111,109,45).

first make sure you have the FTP client installed on the machine that will run cron:     apt-get install ftp -y
    # if distribution is based debian

You can create scrip will be run by cron: 

#!/bin/bash
HOST='192.168.8.151'
usuario='ftp_tentativas'
senha='passwdwillian01'

arquivo='*.csv'

cd /var/www/html/log/Export/

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
user ${usuario} ${senha}
prompt
mput $arquivo
quit
END_SCRIPT
cp /var/www/html/log/Export/*.* /var/www/html/log/Enviados/.
rm /var/www/html/log/Export/*.* 
exit 0

Generally FTP protocol is not widely used because it does not have encryption, usually SFTP, FTPS.
