How about using `ftp -u' instead of the here-document?

     -u URL file [...]
                Upload files on the command line to URL where URL is one
                of the ftp URL types as supported by auto-fetch (with an
                optional target filename for single file uploads), and
                file is one or more local files to be uploaded.
