Ftp in unix shell script

Question

hi.
I have the following requirement to be written as a shell script.
1. ftp to another server ( say x)
2. change the directory ( cd /data)
3. check if there exists a file with extention .csv. If it does,
3.1 get the file and copy it to a backup directory,
3.2 rename the file to test.csv
3.3 login to an oracle schema and execute a procedure.
3.4. Based on the output, echo success or error
3.5 If success delete the file
Can all this be done in one script. ?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanx

Hi ,
Hope the folllowing scipt listing will help you.
cd /u01/backup/
ftp -in << EOF
open x
cd data
ls . /u01/backup/test.out
EOF
# Check whether .csv file exists.
cat /u01/backup/test.out | awk '{print $9}' | tail +2 | cut -d "." -f 2 | grep csv
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
cd /u01/backup/
ftp -in << EOF
open x
cd data
get
EOF
fi
# renaming file
cd /u01/backup/
mv *.csv test.csv
# set environment for database running
export ORACLE_HOME=
$ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/bin -s /nolog << EOF > /dev/null
connect user/pass
spool output.lst
@execute_the_script.sql
spool off
EOF
## procees output.lst and echo the result.
## Execute further steps..
