You'd need to upgrade your curl first, since the upload globbing was not
supported until curl 7.10.8 and I don't think that is included in your OS
release.

Then, you'd probably do something like this:

 * loop through all files and create a single uploadglob variable

 * uploadglob should look like this {file1,file2,file3}

 * then upload them all in one shot like this: curl ftp://upload.com/path/ -T
   $uploadglob
