FTP into Xdb

Question

I am using
ELSDV01> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
CORE    11.2.0.2.0      Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.2.0 - ProductionI have a need to populate an XDB repository with a number of xml (shredded) documents for testing purposes. This I can do via a shell script (windows or solaris). But perhaps easier would be to use an FTP client. But there is a problem.
After each document put I would also need to create an accompanying history folder and finally a symbolic link that points to the latest (even if only one exist) version.
I have done a little research, but I cannot find any explicit information about logging in via an FTP client (like C:\WIndows\system32\ftp.exe) and then creating a symbolic link from within that FTP session. It is at all doable? Thank you.

After each document put I would also need to create an accompanying history folder and finally a symbolic link that points to the latest (even if only one exist) version. A couple of options :
- using the versioning capabilities of the XDB repository
- using XDB events to trigger the creation of the folder and the sym link whenever a document is dropped in a specific location
